INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
PROJECTS
Studio Pacific was established in Wellington in 1992 by the three directors: Nicholas Barratt-Boyes, B. Arch, ANZIA, RIBA; Stephen McDougall, B.B.Sc, B.Arch, FNZIA; and Evžen Novak, B. Arch (Hons), ANZIA, RIBA. Prior to establishing the Studio, all three directors studied and/or worked together in New Zealand before working for a period in Europe: Evžen studied in Berlin and worked in Switzerland and London, while Nick and Stephen were based in London and worked on projects throughout the U.K. and Europe. The collective international experience gained by the directors in Europe set the platform and influenced the direction of the practice. From early design competitions and small residential commissions Studio Pacific has evolved into an award-winning substantial and creative practice with diverse projects throughout New Zealand. Particular recognition has been given to the studio for working with the arts, urban regeneration, housing, masterplanning and contemporary workspace planning.
Studio Pacific undertakes a large range of projects, from small individual furniture items to large projects involving entire new towns. Our small scale work includes new houses, additions and alterations, and retail work. Our larger schemes include large multi-unit residential and commercial buildings as well as masterplans and landscaping. We enjoy having a mix of project sizes and types in the Studio — each project has different challenges, and offers varied opportunities for us to express our creativity in response. This publication provides a selection of some of our recent projects from across the range of project types we work on.

MOTAT AVIATION DISPLAY HALL
The Aviation Display Hall is a major new museum facility for MOTAT’s collection of historic aircraft. Developed from a masterplan also prepared by Studio Pacific, the purpose of the new hangar facility is twofold. Firstly, it provides weather-controlled storage facilities for the aircraft, some of which are the only examples of their type in the world. Secondly, its exhibition space, designed in collaboration with exhibition designers Freeman Ryan, offers an international–quality museum experience of the history of New Zealand aviation. At over 3000m2, the new building has ample space to accommodate the aircraft and is located on a closed landfill, meaning that it is effectively on recycled land. The Display Hall itself uses the unique capabilities of massive LVL (laminated veneered lumber) portal frames to span 42 metres, encompassing the great wingspan of the aircraft. The close working relationship between Studio Pacific and Freeman Ryan was critical to
the successful reconciliation of the requirements of the building envelope with the requirements of the exhibition spaces. While the exhibition space design required a ‘black box’ interior, the building had to be developed so that it also responded well to its context and reflected good urban design principles. The final building design wraps meaningful interior spaces within an exterior that provides visual expression and interest from the street. The Display Hall is also designed to function as an education area, incorporating reception areas for students and provision for other specific student needs. From the outset, sustainable design measures have been an integral part of the overall design approach.The building utilises a ventilation strategy that favours natural ventilation in conjunction with a ‘heat chimney’ on the north of the building. Glazing to specific areas of gallery space also maximises natural light where appropriate. Photography Patrick Reynolds

THE ROCK
A challenging brief meant that the redevelopment of the Wellington International Airport Passenger Terminal, completed in 2010 in association with Warren and Mahoney Architects, required a unique and innovative design. The first task was to meet a set of complex technical specifications including functionality, planning efficiency, economy in building materials and construction and optimisation of the available pocket building site. In conjunction with external apron works, the project involved the expansion of the interior open lounge floor area, new retailing, linkages from the reconfigured passenger processing area and an increase to eight aerobridge-capable gates. As the new building functions as the gateway to Wellington for international passengers, the brief also demanded the creation of a memorable visitor experience through a unique, edgy aesthetic that embodied a strong sense of place.
The new terminal building is a standalone structure, its oscillating outline derived from the indentations of aeroplane docks into the triangular site.This irregularity dovetailed with the concept of the building as a crusty, enigmatic rock embedded in the runway — recalling the site’s kinship with the craggy, sea-battered Wellington coast. A radical departure from contemporary airports, preoccupied with imagery of lightness and flight,The Rock evokes the anchoring qualities of the land. Its copper finish provides unparalleled durability in a corrosive environment of sea air and aircraft fuel gases. In contrast to the bland, mall-like interiors that typify most international airports, the interior of the Rock exudes warmth and resounds with personality. Spaces unfold on varying levels and exploration is welcomed, with journeys through the interior modulated by a series of ramps, used in place of lifts, that form part of the building’s sustainability strategy.

KUMUTOTO
Named after a former pa and ancient stream running under the reclaimed land, Kumutoto was originally master planned by Studio Pacific before design development of the open space was undertaken in association with Isthmus Group. The design approach identified and drew on the site’s key characteristics: the wharf promenade, the Kumutoto stream, the city grid, and the harbour. The Wharf Plaza has been extended to expand the city grid through a new fixed wharf and floating pontoon. At Kumutoto Plaza the stream is revealed and celebrated by pulling the edge of the water back into the city, declaiming the former car park and creating a stream mouth. Historically the wharf surface was covered in timber setts that had been subsequently buried under layers of asphalt, and these have been carefully recycled and re-laid. Other surface materials used throughout the precinct were selected for their texture and robustness. A sequence of light-pole structures, trees and seats create a procession between the city and the harbour, offering a variety of opportunities for occupation and movement. Pohutukawa, the hardy natives of coastal areas, are set in a scattered grid of square planters. A stunning new sculptural bridge is suspended low across the water. The south end is supported and framed by a pair of concrete columns recalling a tower crane. This crane structure visible from Lambton Quay acts like a beacon, drawing passers-by along the path of the ancient stream into the precinct, where they can wander through, pause and enjoy Kumutoto’s striking spaces at the very edge of the city.
Kumutoto public toilets are located at the Synergy Plaza in the Kumutoto Precinct. As well as taking into account practical considerations such as security, hygiene and vandalism, the brief was to create a structure with a sculptural form, something iconic, highly visible and unusual that was also well integrated into the visual and historical context of the surrounding precinct. To be seen in the round, the design comprises two elongated, irregularly curved forms, instantly recognisable from all key pedestrian approaches and terminating a sequence of spaces and elements along the laneway. These organic forms, eye-catching and instantly memorable, are suggestive of crustaceans or sea creatures, as if the structure was a kind of fossilised husk that had been discovered and inhabited. Recalling the waterfront’s shipping past, they evoke the crusty saltiness of the sea in the smooth levelness of the precinct, clinging to its surface like barnacles to the underside of a boat. Each form contains one accessible public toilet, with one of the two also including cleaning facilities. Their robust concrete construction is appropriate to the surrounding maritime environment. A metal rain screen, painted the brick red of the neighbouring sheds, ties them into the heritage context and enhances their visibility. While they contrast with the linear architecture of the surrounding buildings, again contributing to their visual distinctness, the curves of the new structure also echo some of the ornate detailing on the nearby sheds. Cantilevered ‘tails’ provide natural ventilation.

MERIDIAN BUILDING
Situated in the Kumutoto precinct on Wellington’s waterfront, the Meridian Building works with its neighbouring buildings to contribute to the character of the area, while also representing a strikingly distinctive and environmentally innovative architectural work in its own right. In addition to the client’s desire for a flagship green building at the forefront of sustainable design, the site’s prominent waterfront position meant the building would be highly visible on all faces, necessitating a particularly coherent form. The design of the final building, completed by Studio Pacific in association with Peddle Thorp architects, is sophisticated and quietly dramatic, subtly and cleverly translating elements from the nearby heritage waterfront Sheds into a contemporary register. The building is articulated as two separate forms: a smaller
curved annex that sits close to the precinct’s existing Sheds, with richly-coloured external louvres to relate to the colours and textures of the surrounding built fabric, and a smooth, white rectangular pavilion facing seawards, with the upper floors cantilevered out to seemingly float lightly above the water. The visual weight and detail of the annex anchors the lightness of the pavilion. Award-winning for its commitment to sustainability, the building uses partially recycled cement in the structure, significantly reducing CO. emissions; it also features operable external shading to north and west and reduced glazing to the south façade. The building has a 60% lower energy consumption than a typical office building and a 70% reduction in water usage is also achieved through harvesting rainwater and using low flow fittings.

PREFAB
Prefab is a mixed use hospitality project, designed with the intention of offering a wider civic amenity to the central city. The clients, well known and versed in the Wellington hospitality and coffee industry, asked that the existing 1970s drive through liquor store become a nucleus for their community and newly developed brand. The site contains a public lane, 130-seat eatery, coffee roastery, bakery, retail space, full commercial kitchen, 220-person community hall and an office space that acts as the nerve centre. Industrial design precedents were utilised in specifying finishes to provide a facility of high quality and permanence. The space and materials are simple and refined, timeless and proven. The project was delivered over two years in three stages: the eatery, lane and hall. The welcoming eatery contains the kitchen, roastery and bakery, which are deliberately open to the space to ensure engagement with the public
and allow the Prefab team to participate in the community. Extensive full height glazing and a generous entry ensure that activity extends beyond the site. Robust, raw and familiar materials including concrete, ash timber, aluminium and plywood were chosen to deliver an honest and simple palette. The lane adopted these cues and was developed with a simplicity of materials to create a formalised link to the surrounding urban context. Concrete, granite and edible planting were chosen with accents of the eatery appearing through timber planters, tables and steel balustrades. The hall then links off this unique outdoor space. Plywood, steel and a beautifully crafted timber floor dress the space to become a sister of the eatery. This communal space completes the project and complements the other spaces by hosting community events.

THE WATERFRONT
In 2001, Studio Pacific was approached to masterplan a new residential precinct at the former site of the Fort Dorset military base, east of the coastal suburb of Seatoun. The client’s wish for the development to be well integrated with Seatoun led to a design that merges seamlessly with this low-key seaside village while also incorporating qualities of the adjacent coastal reserve. Rather than developing a new maze of culde-sacs, Seatoun’s pohutukawa-lined street grid was extended through the site to the edge of the harbour. Land parcelling of the many sections allowed generous common areas to be created, while pedestrian access-ways provide local access to Seatoun’s prized wild, rocky foreshore and to the neighbouring coastal reserve, which features many popular walking tracks.Throughout, the new suburb is a landscape of carefully detailed boardwalks, timber seating, cobbled lanes and native grasses, kept suitably untamed to reflect the
wild local flora. A sculptural folly, clad in textured concrete patterned with a silhouette of Seatoun’s Steeple Rock, sits at the heart of the development as a figurative anchor for the new subdivision. The design also incorporates a diverse range of housing options, designed by a selection of quality architects, that includes large waterfront sites, shoreline houses, beach houses and Studio Pacific’s own innovative courtyard-houses. Groups of different housing types are clustered together to create natural pockets of housing rather than artificially staged layouts. The Courtyard Houses were developed on the medium-density plot located at the centre of the development, away from the harbouredge view. Clustered together, they form a series of interlocking sheltered, private and sunlit courtyards that challenges the suburban archetype of detached houses on discrete sections, offering instead a new way of thinking about contemporary suburban life.

38 Because of the siting of the plot, the traditional approach to suburban development that places each house at the centre of its section would have produced unusable shady strips of yard at the side of each house and left the section exposed to the buffeting coastal winds. Instead, living and bedroom spaces are shifted to the edges of the section, maximising space and creating a central sun-filled, sheltered courtyard with which the rooms of the house directly engage. A strategy of shared walls and interconnecting spaces therefore replaces the archetypical exterior configuration of the houses. Situated at the back of each house, the kitchen opens to an outdoor area that faces onto landscaped private lanes. The deliberate absence of fences at the street boundary, the way materials and paint colours slide across neighbouring houses, and the exposed concrete panels in the laneway that form the walls of individual garages all begin to blur boundaries between public and private space. The houses comprise two basic models; the single-storeyed 16m (120m2) houses are spaced between the two-storey 20m (160m2) houses so that views and sun are maximised. Living spaces face to the north, and clerestory windows ensure good light and connection to the outside, with second-storey spaces carefully arranged to allow views out to the harbour and hills with minimal overshadowing. In its thoughtful analysis of the local context and imaginative response to the surrounding landscape, The Waterfront challenges the typical approach to subdivision developments.

TAIPAKUPAKU HOUSE
This family home sits on the historic Taipakupaku settlement in Karaka Bay,Wellington.The brief was to renovate, extend and consolidate the existing house, originally built around 1910, into a unique and tranquil residence that would provide the backdrop to family life. The house occupies a threshold or transition space on the edge of the sea, on the verge of the road and at the foot of the hills behind. This notion of transition is layered through the building and landscape architecture. The living room is cantilevered over a lit water feature; filtered morning sun produces reflections that dance on the ceiling, creating an inside space with a sense of watery lightness. The doors of the living room peel open, extending the living room floor out like the deck of a boat. On the exterior, the structure is articulated as two volumes; the first, with a pitched timber-clad roof, echoes the neighbouring roof forms, while a second volume, embedded
in the side of the first, extends and anchors the space. Timber cladding on the exterior varies in colour, with silvery, weathered timber nearest the sea transitioning to a mixture of pale gold and a deeper, reddish bronze that links the house to the variegated bush behind it. To infuse the architecture with a richer personality, fragments of the original villa were retained and stitched back into the house. Deliberate and beautiful detailing finishes the house. An exquisite hand-carved oak front door maps the geography of the region, while Hone Tuwhare’s poem Rain, inscribed into a concrete exterior panel, acknowledges the sensory stillness of the house and surrounding environment. The house provides spaces through which family move in varying degrees of privacy, views, sunlight and noise; in the midst of this choreography of constant change, its jewellike detail invites moments of contemplation, rewarding a closer look.

MOUNT VICTORIA HOUSE
The postcard view of Mt Victoria, with colourful, idiosyncratic character villas stacked amongst dark greenery, is one of Wellington’s most treasured. A brief to undertake a major renovation of this 1950s Mt Victoria house required a careful balancing of the client’s desire for a contemporary apartment-style home with the need to remain sensitive to the qualities of the surrounding area. The existing house, with its flat-roofed concrete form, was already distinct from the adjacent traditional timber houses. Rather than create a pastiche of traditional styles, the exterior form, with its clean lines and modest scale, was retained and reclad. A restrained palette of materials in muted tones and transparent bands of full-height glazing set into projecting zinc bays give the house a light, almost ethereal quality that allows it to settle discreetly into its context.Visible horizontal lines created by aluminium louvres
and the seams of the zinc cladding around the windows relate to the surrounding weatherboard exteriors. A new lightweight roof now crowns the building, angling up as a gesture to the pitched roofs of the nearby villas and incorporating a roof terrace delicately finished with glass balustrades. Unusually for a house, street access is from the top floor, and internal stairs lead down into the house, with a spatial sequence furling from open to intimate. On the upper floors, living areas were opened up to the panoramic views of Wellington harbour, while on the lower levels bedrooms were rationalise and modernised.The selfcontained unit tucked into the ground floor of the house emerges into a flat landscaped terrace garden that, overlooked by the upper floors, extends out towards the view. A discreet stairway down the side of the garden offers private access to Oriental Bay.

RAWHITI BACH
This bach is located in Rawhiti, a small, peaceful, subtropical seaside settlement made up of a sparse scattering of dwellings. As the family has grown and as more friends take up the invitation to come and stay, the bach required an extension that would supply extra bedrooms and bathrooms and also fit in with the low-key, unpretentious approach to house design that characterises the area. In order to provide the extra space required and to protect the views into the site, a new structure has been buried into the hillside next to the existing bach. A kind of optional, self-contained extension to the bach is thereby created, which can be used when required and closed up when not needed, as if the space were sealed back into the hill. Its humble, bunker-like design is also in keeping with the unassuming character of the area. The halfburied form of the new structure defers to the geographical qualities of the area, which is
characterised by low rolling hills covered in grass and rambling clusters of kanuka and manuka. As well as providing extra room, the sleepout offers a cool, meditative retreat from the communal noise and bustle of the main bach. Set into a simple concrete shell, sliding timber louvres, angled to echo the slant of the hillside, allow the rooms inside to be opened up to the afternoon sun or shielded from its glare in the middle of the day. Timber panelling curves from the entrance through into the inner walls of the house, effortlessly connecting indoor and outdoor. Inside, the use of light is almost sculptural, with a long hall skylight filtering daylight into the cellular rooms and creating geometric expanses of light across the concrete walls. The new sleepout also frames and activates a space between the two buildings, creating an outdoor area that is left deliberately relaxed and unformed, where spontaneous gatherings can occur.
