Abstract
This paper looks at New Zealand’s early ‘shop house’ architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Commonly constructed from unreinforced masonry they are required to respond to updated NZ earthquake strengthening codes and regulatory frameworks since the Christchurch earthquakes of 2011. The purpose of the paper is to draw attention to the forms and significance of these buildings before they disappear. Elevated ideals of modern progress resonate in this historicist architecture making these shop buildings complex artefacts, as they look both forward and back. Their heritage status is uncertain and their hybrid character would appear to have significance for their inclusion in the historic record, insofar as the NZ shop house is hardly discussed in the literature. This hybrid character, however, also offers a complex elision of domestic and working space that seems relevant for the contemporary city.
