2025 NZIA Canterbury Award

June 11, 2025


We're excited to share that our office has received a 2025 NZIA Canterbury Architecture Award for Interior Architecture.


This project was a close collaboration between architect Tobin from TSArchitects Ltd, Andrew Hawkes and Benjamin Badger. Together, they reimagined a former warehouse into a workplace that reflects our values and style — practical, welcoming, and quietly distinctive.


The result is a space shaped by warm tones, textured materials, and carefully considered details. Moving away from a conventional office tower, the new interior feels purposeful and personal — a place that’s as comfortable for our team as it is for our clients.


Thanks to Tobin for his creative leadership and to the NZIA for recognising the work. We're proud to be part of a vibrant local design community.

Backing Futures, Building Foundations

By Anthem Partners • August 13, 2026
At Anthem Partners, we’re proud to back the next generation and support opportunities that help young people thrive. As accountants and advisers, we understand the value of good foundations—and over the past year, we have been pleased to support Christchurch Boys’ High School rowing and hockey through sponsorship and fundraising initiatives, made even stronger by the generosity of our clients and business network who have kindly donated goods and services. We are grateful to help bring people together to support opportunities that make a meaningful difference in young people’s lives. Our connection with Christchurch Boys’ High School runs deep. A number of our team are current parents, our Director is a proud old boy, and the school community is strongly represented across our clients and wider business network. Sport plays a big part in helping young people build confidence, resilience, teamwork, and a strong sense of belonging. With rising costs putting pressure on many families, we believe community support can make a real difference by reducing financial barriers and keeping these experiences within reach. We’re grateful to be able to help open doors to opportunities that can shape young people well beyond the season, the training ground, or the final whistle.

A night with SCAPE Public Art

By Andrew Hawkes • July 20, 2025
At Anthem Partners, we’re proud to support initiatives that reflect the heart of our local community. Recently, we had the privilege of supporting SCAPE Public Art’s latest exhibition alongside some of our valued clients — a celebration of creativity, connection, and collective purpose. The evening raised funds for the reinstatement of “Sky Lens”, a beloved piece by Cantabrian artist Neil Dawson. Originally a feature in Cashel Mall, Sky Lens was removed after the devastating 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Thank you to SCAPE Public Art for their leadership in driving this campaign, and to our clients who joined us on the night.
