The brief called for a large library and a community arts centre, sympathetic to the strongly massed and rectilinear Town Hall situated next door. The orthogonal forms of the new building reflect its neighbour's character, but in a lighter more open language.

HAWKE'S BAY AIRPORT

We were appointed Lead Design Consultant for project scoping, concept through to detailed design, and project delivery of the Terminal expansion project. The existing terminal is structurally upgraded with expansive extensions to the north and south ends.

The building form draws inspiration from its local context and environment. This is embodied in the roof structure which takes the form of the Kuaka/Bar-tailed godwit in flight.

The project vision was “to create a place where democracy is delivered, and seen to be delivered”. The completed building creates a sustainable and welcoming civic gateway which provides a much anticipated civic heart on Kapiti Coast.

A tight collaboration between the client and the architect resulted in the creation of vibrant, functional and flexible spaces that respond to the client's vision and celebrate symbols, traditions and landscapes of the Horowhenua region. The resulting centre has become a hub for civic, social, school and individual activities for the Horowhenua region.

TE PAE NORTH PIHA SURF LIFE-SAVING TOWER

The lifeguard tower is an essential facility that enables observation, patrolling and protection at North Piha – one of New Zealand’s most beautiful but dangerous surf beaches. The tower is to serve the club and the community providing a functional and durable building to replace the existing dated structure.

This building has been designed as a surgical centre for ten ophthalmologists, all of whom have their own consulting rooms. The building consists of pre-operation and post-operation areas; anaesthetic block bays and two full-sized identical operating theatres.

This project provides a first ‘Kiwi home’ to generations of Refugees who will come to our Nation for a new life. This project was an opportunity for the design team to provide this key piece of New Zealand’s Social infrastructure and took literally the premise of ‘nation building’.

AVENUE HEALTH BUILDING

The building is arranged on the site to present its narrow end to Bealey Avenue and keep the building’s bulk back from the street. This helps to maintain the scale of buildings along Bealey Avenue.

Nestled confidently beneath The Remarkables mountain range, Alpine Aqualand is a major extension to the Events Centre, located next to the Queenstown Airport at Frankton.
