New Regent Street.
Christchurch, NOVA ZELANDA 2023
New Regent Street is one of Christchurch's most charming and picturesque thoroughfares, renowned for its brightly colored Spanish Mission-style architecture. Built in 1932, it was designed as one of New Zealand's first pedestrian-only shopping precincts. Its two-story buildings, painted in pastel shades, feature art deco details and archways that create a unique and inviting atmosphere. After suffering significant damage in the 2011 earthquakes, most of its buildings were meticulously restored to preserve their historic character. Today, the street is a vibrant hub of small boutiques, cafes, bars, and restaurants. It is also a stop on the historic Christchurch Tram route, which adds a nostalgic touch to its charm.
