The building was constructed between 1923-24. It was designed by New Zealand architectural firm Collins and Harman. The building design was modelled on the neoclassical Reid Winter Garden at Springburn Glasgow. Cuningham House is constructed from reinforced concrete, steel and glass. It comprises two levels a ground floor with a central in ground planted area, and a mezzanine walkway around the perimeter of level one. The 2011 Canterbury earthquake caused some damage to Cuningham House. The building was closed following this to undergo detailed assessments and repairs. It was reopened in 2014. The building now requires structural strengthening up to an acceptable NBS level, and also needs services upgrades and repairs to several architectural defects.
