NARRATIVE IMAGERY
CRISIS CRISIS CRISIS “Housing in Aotearoa is in crisis. Whether it’s housing quality, cost or the fact that a growing number of people are living in isolation, the current approach to housing is not addressing these key issues. There are significant challenges presented by the current housing market and the standard approach to developing housing. There’s a growing appetite for new solutions that shift away from speculation and promote equitable, sustainable, collective models of housing.” - Nicci Armour

VISION
I aim to design a Sustainable Co Housing community in Shelly bay as a solution to New Zealands growing housing Crisis. As well as a solution to fight off the isolation and loneliness that is harming our collective wellbeing Maori commonly lived in Whanau based Kainga: extended families living together with a variety of shared building types, this is the type of living style which will be implemented back into Shelly Bay. My goal is to develop a design which creates “a city within a city� Solving the housing Crisis is Wellington city by designing small compact, sustainable housing that first home buyers can have a chance at purchasing. I am designing a mix between Medium Density Housing, Co-housing and mixed-use housing that all have sustainable qualities. The demographic of the people there will be young professionals, young families and elderly. I am wanting to step away from the commercial development, and instead take develop a design that takes a universal approach, focusing in on the wellbeing of the residents, and developing a community that the rest of New Zealand aim to have.

SITE HISTORY
Shelly bay is a located on the Western edge of the Miramar Peninsula in Wellington, New Zealand. The area seems so what abandoned, and has been left pretty much untouched since it was lasted properly occupied by the Royal NZ Air force (RNZAF) between 1946 -1995. The bay is filled with heaps of hidden spots, with an breath-taking presence in the air. By just being at the site you can tell that it is filled with lots of history and character.
In 2009 Shelly bay was bought off the New Zealand Government by the Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust (PNBST, who represent various iwi of the Taranaki region.
When NZDF handed land back to NZ government, they were given first right of refusal to purchase the land – which they did, and using the money from their Treaty of Waitangi settlement.
The reason why this land was purchased was because Shelly Bay was first settled as Maru-kai-kuru by Te Awa (iwi originating from Taranaki) in 1830.
Nobody has took responsibility for the upkeep of the existing buildings, with many having to be demolished.
This is taken from the “Cultural Impact Assessment Report” for Shelly Bay / Marukaikuru commissioned by the Wellington Company Limited.
•
Marukaikuru (Shelly)Bay has high cultural significance to the iwi of Taranaki whanui
•
Taranaki Whānui people lived in the Bay until 1835
•
The purchase of Shelly Bay by PNBST from the Crown was a highly significant Treaty settlement transaction specifically for the purpose of future development
•
Any development of Marukaikuru must adequately take account of and reflect Taranaki Whānui cultural links, history and tangata whenua status in Wellington.
•
Taranaki Whānui have kaitiakitanga (guardianship) responsibilities to ensure the
•
protection of the natural, historical and cultural dimensions of Marukaikuru.

1.6 S I T E U N D E R S TA N D I N G S THE SETTING Shelly Bay is broken down into three areas. These are the: Southern Bay Area (1), Northern Bay Area (2) and Wharf Area (3).
Shelly Bay is has two bay areas, bounded by the Peninsula step cliffs are too the east and the waters edge to the west. The step forest and greenery contrasting with the waters edge are the key qualities of the setting of Shelly Bay.
B U I LT • Small scale individual low buildings • Pitched roof forms • Seperated by large areas of open space
SITE ACESS Shelly Bay Road connects to the wider road network via Miramar Avenue to the south. The current t-intersection is give-way controlled. To the north of the site Shelly Bay Road becomes Massey Road, which routes around the remainder of the Miramar Peninsula (through to Scorching Bay and Karaka Bay), before connecting with Marine Parade.
TRANSPORT Existing Commuting Travel Patterns (2013 Census)
Shelly Bay area is not directly served by bus. The closest bus route is #24 (Miramar heights). The nearest bus stop to Shelly bay is 162 Akaora Drive, approximately 1.6 km by foot from the site. Shelly Bay Road is currently used largely for recreational purposes, accommodating some cyclist and pedestrian demands, especially on the weekends. There are no dedicated pedestrian or cycle facilities along Shelly Bay road.

1.7 CONNECTION A few aspects of the Shelly bay site that stand out and are very important with further developments in my design.
G R E E N S PA C E
T H E B AY
The topography and green spaces of the site truly represent the NZ native bush and surroundings. Trees soften and help frame our environment. The beautifully slopped site offers great opportunities to build within the slope, and incorporate the greenery in all aspects of my design for Shelly bay
Shelly bay is a nestled site with a breathtaking view of Evens bay and the suburbs of wellington on the hill on the opposite side. The crystal clear water brings a sense of tranquility to the site. The smell of the ocean and the sea life around really makes you feel as though you are right out of the city and more connected to nature.
COMMUNITY
HISTORY
Even though Shelly bay has many unoccupied dwellings and residents, there is still a very lively community aspect to the place. The chocolate fish cafe and its relax vibe really draws people to Shelly bay. The surroundings Miramar suburb community have many different things going on. I believe Shelly Bay has a large potential to be a community hub.
Shelly Bay has a large timeline of history and is a well known spot for the controversial development plans that are being underway. This is an opportunity to further connect with the site and the Iwi. To design something that gives back to the community and away from an investment property

FUTHER RESEARCH
CO HOUSING Co Housing is a form of collaborative housing in which residents actively participate in the designs and operation of their own neighborhoods. The concept originated in Denmark in the early 1970s. Physical Design – Encourages the community to engage with each other, but at the same time allowing individual space Social Integration - balances the needs of the individual for autonomy, privacy and control of their own space, with the advantages of cooperation, belonging, safety and community.
Bristol Co-Housing
UNIVERSAL DESIGN In Architecture Universal design is defined as “a process that enables and empowers a diverse population by improving human performance, health and wellness, and social participation” (Steinfeld, Maisel, 2012, p. xi). This means creating spaces that meet the needs of all people, young and old, able and disabled from any different race or religion. By not providing universally design homes, barriers are created, universal designs are flexible to different occupants needs rather than trying to design specific homes for specific groups of people.
