The friendship of two celebrated Kiwi architects is uncovered in a new documentary.

'Maurice and I' looks at the partnership between Sir Miles Warren and Maurice Mahoney and how they refurbished the Christchurch Town Hill after the quakes.

Director Rick Harvie told Mike Hosking he always wanted to make a documentary about the Town Hall, but didn't think it would be a feature-length film.

He says they treated the building as a character, showcasing its creation to it almost losing its life.

Harvie says it was important for him to drill down into the details of the restoration, as it’s a Christchurch story, but also a big part of New Zealand's history.

The documentary's currently in cinemas.
