Introduction
Background
Projects
Studio Pacific firm was established in Wellington in 1992 by the three directors: Nicholas Barratt - Boyes, B. Arch, ANZIA, RIBA; Stephen McDougall, B. Arch, FNZIA, B. B. Sc; Evžen Novak, B. Arch (Hons), ANZIA, RIBA. Prior to establishing Studio firm, all three directors studied and/or worked together in New Zealand before working for the period in Europe: Evžen studied in Berlin and worked Switzerland and London, whilst Nick and Stephen were based in London and worked on the 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 the early design competitions and then the small residential commissions Studio Pacific has evolved into the also award - winning substantial, creative practice with diverse projects throughout New Zealand. Particular the recognition has been given to studio for working with the arts, urban regeneration, housing, masterplanning and 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. The larger schemes include the large multi - unit residential and commercial buildings as well 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 a response. This publication provides a selection of some of many recent projects from across the range of project types we work on.

01
A challenging brief meant, development Wellington International Airport Passenger Terminal, completed 2010 in association with the Warren and Mahoney Architects, required a unique and innovative design. The first task was to meet a complex set of technical specifications including functionality, planning efficiency, economy in building materials and construction and optimisation of available pocket site. In conjunction with external the apron works, the project involved the expansion of the interior open lounge floor area, new retailing, linkages from reconfigured passenger processing area and increase to each of eight aerobridge - capable gates. As the new building functions as a gateway to Wellington for international passengers, the brief also demanded creation of a memorable visitor experience through a unique, edgy aesthetic that embodied a very strong sense of the place. The new terminal building is a standalone structure, of the oscillating outline derived from 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 craggy, sea - battered Wellington coast. A radical departure from contemporary airports, preoccupied with imagery the lightness and flight, The Rock evokes anchoring qualities of 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, 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 forms part of sustainability strategy.

02 MOTAT Aviation Display Hall Arts & Culture Client: MOTAT, Location Auckland
The Aviation Display Hall is a major new museum facility for MOTAT’s collection of historic aircraft. Developed from master plan also prepared by Studio Pacific, the purpose of 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 international - quality museum experience of the history of the New Zealand aviation. At over 3000m2, the new building has ample space to accommodate the aircraft that is located closed landfill, meaning that it is effectively on the recycled land. The MOTAT Display Hall itself, uses the unique capabilities of a massive laminated veneered lumber (LVL) 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
18
the requirement of the building envelope with the requirements of the exhibition spaces. While the exhibition space design required a ‘ black box ’ interior, building had to be developed further so that it also responded well to its context and reflected a good urban design principle. The final building design wraps meaningful interior spaces within an exterior that provides visual of expression and interest from the street. The Display Hall is designed to function as education area, incorporating reception areas students and provision for other specific student needs. From the outset, sustainable design measures have been an integral part of overall design approach. The building utilises ventilation strategy that favours natural ventilation in conjunction with a ‘ heat chimney ’ on the north of building. Glazing to specific areas of gallery space maximises natural light where appropriate.

03 Kumutoto, Wellington Urban Design Client: Wellington Waterfront Ltd/ Wellington City Council
Named after a former pa and ancient stream running under the reclaimed land, Kumutoto was originally master planned by Studio Pacific Architecture before design development of the open space was undertaken in association with Isthmus. The design approach identified and drew on the site’s key characteristics: the wharf promenade, 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 wharf surface was covered in the timber setts that had been subsequently buried under layers asphalt, and these have been carefully recycled and re-laid. Other surface materials used throughout the precinct were selected for their texture and the robustness.
22
A sequence of light - pole structures, trees and the seats to create a procession between the city and the harbour, offering a variety opportunities for occupation and of movement. Pohutukawa, the hardy natives of the coastal areas, are set in the scattered grid of the square planters. A stunning new sculptural bridge is suspended low across the water. The south end is supported and framed by the pair concrete columns recalling a tower crane. This crane structure is visible all the way from the Lambton Quay acts like a beacon, drawing passers -by along the path of the ancient stream to precinct, where they can wader through, pause and enjoy beauty of Kumutoto’s striking spaces at the very edge of the city.

26
Studio Pacific Architecture / Public
01
These 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 structure with sculptural form, something iconic, highly visible, unusual that was also well integrated into visual historical context of surrounding precinct. To be seen in round, design comprises two elongated, irregularly curved forms, instantly recognises from all key pedestrian approaches, terminating a sequence of spaces and elements along the laneway. These organic forms, eye-catching and instantly memorable, are suggestive of the 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 two also including cleaning facilities. Their robust concrete construction is appropriate to the surrounding the 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 linear architecture of the surrounding buildings, again contributing to the visual distinctness, the curves of the new and structure also echo some of the ornate detailing on the nearby sheds. Cantilevered ‘ tails ’ provide natural ventilation.

05 Meridian Building, Wellington Commercial, Client: Wellington Waterfront Ltd / Dominion Funds Ltd
Situated in the Kumutoto precinct on the Wellington’s waterfront, Meridian Building works with its neighbouring buildings to contribute to the character of the area, while also representing distinctive and environmentally innovative architectural work in its own. In addition to the client’s desire for a flagship green building at the forefront of sustainable design, the site’s prominent waterfront of position meant the building would be highly visible from 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 nearby heritage waterfront Sheds into contemporary register. The building is articulated as two separate forms: a smaller curved annex that sits close the very precinct’s existing Sheds, with richly - coloured external louvres to relate to the colours and all the textures of the surrounding built fabric,
30
a smooth white rectangular pavilion facing seawards, with upper floors cantilevered out to seemingly float lightly above 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 structure, significantly reducing CO. emissions; it also features operable external shading to both north and west and reduced glazing the south façade. The building has 60% lower energy consumption than typical office building and a 70% reduction in water usage which is also achieved through the harvesting of rainwater and using low flow fittings.

Xero House, Wellington (John Chambers Building) Commercial, Client: Wellington Waterfront Ltd / Dominion Funds Ltd
The 1918 John Chambers Building is on a high - profile island site in Cable Street and Jervois Quay, within a precinct of the restored heritage buildings such as the Free Ambulance Building, Mac’s Brewery and the Odlins Building. It is listed in Schedule of Heritage Buildings significant for its architectural style, an unusual mixture of the building’s original stripped Classical style on the lower floor and the Deco on upper the floors, which were refurbish after 1942 Wellington earthquake. Originally an engineering workshop, the building has a distinctive flatiron plan, characteristically high ceilings, exposed structure, and windows placed a high level. The refurbishment respected the integrity of the building by retaining these design elements as features. The large open floor plates are preserved and the new internal cores, amenities, services, a plant space have been inserted. The existing external façade is repaired, no major alterations made to the exterior ensuring building retains is distinctive.
34
The building was also the classified as potentially earthquake - prone; seismic strengthening work as part of refurbish has upgraded it to 100% of current the Building Code requirements. The restoration and modernisation of the John Chambers Building is a leading example of the sustainable reuse of an existing structure, a viable and desirable alternative new construction. It equally preserves a valuable piece of Wellington’s architectural history. The refurbished building is now a home to Wellington businesses Xero House and Morrison & Co Ltd, whose boutique workplace fit outs were also completed by Studio Pacific Architecture.

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 incorporating qualities of the adjacent coastal reserve. Rather than developing a new maze of cul - de - sacs, the Seatoun’s pohutukawa lined street grid was extended to through the site to the edge of the harbour. Land parcelling of the to many sections allowed generous common areas to be created, while the 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 the 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 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 the quality architects, that includes large waterfront sites, shoreline houses, beach houses Studio Pacific’s own innovative courtyard - houses. Groups the different housing types are clustered together to create natural pockets of housing rather artificially staged layouts. In its thoughtful analysis of the local context and imaginative response to the surrounding landscape, The Waterfront challenges the typical approach to the subdivision developments.

02 Courtyard Houses, Seatoun, Wellington Housing, Client: Globe Holdings Ltd
Studio Pacific’s masterplan for the Seatoun waterfront development includes diverse range of plot sizes and housing types appealing to a variety demographics. The Courtyard Houses were developed on the medium - density plot located at the centre of development, away from the harbour - edge view. Clustered to together they form a series of an interlocking sheltered, private and of sunlit courtyards that challenges the suburban archetype of detached houses on discrete sections, offering instead a new way of thinking about the contemporary suburban life. Because of the siting of the plot, the traditional approach to the suburban development that the 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 the living and bedroom spaces are shifted to the edges the section, maximising space and creating central sun - filled, sheltered rooms of the house.
44
A strategy of shared walls and some 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 to landscaped private lanes. The deliberate absence of fences at the street boundary, the way all materials and paint colours slide across neighbouring houses, and the exposed concrete panels in the laneway that form the walls of individual garages begin to blur boundaries between public and private space. The houses comprise two basic models; here, 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 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.

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 the 1910, into the unique and tranquil residence that would provide the backdrop to the family life. The house occupies a threshold transited space on the edge of the sea, on verge of the road and the foot of the hills behind. This notion of the transition is layered through building, landscape architecture. The living room cantilevered over a lit water feature; filtered the morning sun produces reflections that dance on the ceiling, creating an inside a 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 exterior, the structure articulates as two volumes; first, with the 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 then stitched back into the house. Deliberate, a beautiful detailing finishes the house. An exquisite hand - carved oak front door maps the geography of the region, whilst Hone Tuwhare’s poem Rain, inscribed on concrete exterior panel, acknowledges the sensory stillness of the house and surrounding environment. The house provides a space through which family move in varying degrees of privacy, views, sunlight and the noise; in the midst of this choreography constant change, its jewel - like detail invites a moment of contemplation, rewarding a closer look.

Studio Pacific Architecture / Private

This bach is located in Rawhiti, a small, peaceful, subtropical seaside settlement made up of a sparse scattering of the dwellings. As the family has grown and as more friends take up the invitations to come and stay, the bach required an extension that would help supply extra bedrooms and bathrooms and also fit in with the low - key, unpretentious way approach to house design, characterises this area in the Bay of Islands. In order to provide 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. 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 into the hill. Its humble, bunker-like design is also in keeping with the unassuming character of the area. The half - buried form of new structure defers to the qualities of geographical within 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 simple concrete shell, the sliding timber louvres, angled echo the slant of the hillside, allow rooms inside to be opened up to the afternoon sun or shielded from its glare in the middle the day. Timber panelling curves from the entrance through into the inner walls of the house, effortlessly connecting the 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 light across the concrete walls. The new sleepout also frames, activates a space between the two buildings, creating an outdoor area that is left deliberately relaxed and unformed, where spontaneous gatherings can occur.
