VIADUCT HARBOUR AUCKLAND // NEW ZEALAND
CLIENT: VIADUCT HARBOUR LIMITED
BRINGING BUSINESS TO THE HARBOUR
T
he Viaduct Harbour is a tidal man-made inlet created off Auckland’s Waitemata harbour. The reclaimed lands surrounding the Viaduct have traditionally supported robust industrial warehouses for boat manufacturing, fishing, timber and raw product storage, their activities requiring little connection to the main port and Auckland's City Centre. New Zealand Yachting hit the world stage in 1995 with New Zealand’s winning the Americas Cup, creating new demands on this rough area, which resulted in it being transformed into a foreshore playground and promenade for locals and overseas visitors. Businesses associated with the new water activities and New Zealand's high technology industries which had made possible the winning of the cup wanted to bring their office activities down to this man-made edge, to extend
the city business district down to the urban water edge. The result is a development which can recall the buildings of the past, with their solid in-situ concrete walls, small individual windows in classic orders and solid banded bases supported on basalt as the buildings of old, a place that you would expect to still be here in 100 years time. A green park at the foreground, a shared frontage by the offices provide more privacy for the office users and separation from the water edge promenade. More importantly, it brings back the green perimeter to the harbour removed long ago and allows all the offices to partake of the Viaduct’s activities equally. Its users have a more private realm away from the promenade. 6

he project consists campus style development with two building, a three level consulate office of approximately 1500 square metres, one level consulate offices, one commercial office floor and a level of ground floor retail, a separate traditional Fale building seating over 450 people which we believe to be the largest in the world, a formal Malae or traditional gathering area and an associated 55 space car park. The openness of the traditional Malae and transparency through the adjacent office building at ground level provides clear sight-lines that reinforce the legibility of entry points into and out of this space allowing a high level of passive surveillance at all times. From within the Malae, view corridors connect back to the Mangere town centre. From within the office building, strong visual connections were created from the north facing gathering areas and balconies. At ground level, physical connections from the retail level and Fale link these main internal spaces together worldwide was made easy via the internet. 12

WHITFORD HOUSING WHITFORD // NEW ZEALAND CLIENT: PRIVATE
W
hitford Village Green is a new type of residential subdivision in New Zealand. Architects have always like the idea of creating a village where they can consider the whole environment. Walkers were originally approached by the client after a visit to our award winning project in Wairakei. The village concept was to be based of this design, but on a much grander scale. Like Wairakei Lodge where a courtyard is at the heart, Whitford Village has a large village green”a public park” we increased the density of dwellings around this park, to include a range of two level terrace houses and a few 3 level apartment buildings, each wrapping around a small entry court.
Besides Walkers designing all these higher density buildings for the village we are also designing each stand alone house for purchasers. This is a unique feature of this subdivision, where concept fees form part of the purchase price of the land. This ensure the village architecture is retained across the whole development and gives buyers confidence that their neighbours property will be of a similar quality and designed to privacy and outlook. Earthworks and services have commenced on site.

TANOA HOTEL TANOA // SAMOA
CLIENT: PRIVATE CLIENT
T
he Tanoa Hotel project is reinforced by a proposed landscape connection to the Apia Waterfront. At present, the road leading to the site is barren and exposed, bordered by a concrete breakwater barrier and interspersed with a few large trees offering limited refuge and shade for visitors. The waterfront connection is achieved by the increasing number of large shade trees along the journey, providing a designated pathway with solar lighting, seating, water figures, shelters, viewing decks and the introduction
of shade trees along the Port site frontage. The new streetscape extends the hotel’s landscape beyond its boundaries and enhances its visitor’s experience of Apia’s township. The prominent trees along the road are the Flame Tree, Coral Tree and Indian Almond. Additional Flame Trees provide more shade canopy and a red flower display extends the avenue of red along Apia’s waterfront to Tanoa Hotel’s front door. 22

This was seen as an opportunity to utilise existing poor grade land to provide an eco friendly response to Auckland’s expansion needs with good links thanks to the proposed northern motorway. Our concept created one larger town along with a series of smaller villages and an eco focussed university. These were to be nestled within an extensive newly created forest reserve set up in three zones for the locals and visitors to make use of. These zones were Living and recreation, Education and research as well as ecological tourism. 26

Included 12 stages, some minor options within stages allowed for organised growth, and yet still flexible for potential market changes. We have now fully designed stage 1, a multi story apartment block, and are currently working on stage 2 - 8 level hospital and dementia unit. The entire existing and proposed building for the extensive site has been drawn in CAD 3D; this enables the client and official residents within the retirement village to get an accurate and definite understanding of the various stages and how they influence their unique environment and the village as a whole. The master plan encompasses a large central park as a focus where developments will eventually align.

greenfield site, bordered by existing roads to the West and East and a river to the North, a master plan was drawn up to explore the density of a particular proposed commercial development, for the land owners. The plan included commercial and entertainment buildings, fast food operators and a residential park for the elderly. The rural context dictated the approach to building form and material, density of use to traffic and circulation. This exercise allowed the client to determine the viability of the development to attract commercial operators, to gauge effects on local commercial operations and to assess local authority support before exploring development options and resource consents for land use. This project is currently under construction.

WAIWERA MASTER PLAN WAIWERA // NEW ZEALAND
T
he intent in this design is to provide Waiwera a heart, a place where a variety of activities can occur, markets, car boot sales, musical events, etc this main space takes the form of a village square where traffic still passes across the northern edge on shared vehicle and pedestrian paving. This intermarrying also adds life and activity to the square. A increase in easily accessible street car parks close to the square is achieved on the secondary road which services the pools, brewery and apartments. At the end of this part of the road is the formal hotel entry court. The car park associated with the hotel also provides greater parking at peak times. Our vision highlights and makes the most of the unique aspects of the location, such as healthy mineral water, natural hot springs, clean seaside environment etc. The master plan has several elements that other towns in the area don’t have, small public square giving the town a true centre, retail close to the seaside and native bush. A deliberate strong emphasis on health and wellbeing making this the capital of health and wellbeing for the North Island.

new master plan is being developed for the whole of Ngati Otara Park. Within the park are a group of community buildings including a Marae, kindergarten and a sports club.

arae have been part of the community scene and cultural focus of Maoridom for centuries.
This city based AIT Marae is prominently sited on the corner of St Paul’s and Wellesley Streets and faces directly onto Symonds Street. The desire to develop an AIT Marae grew over many years, and in 1994 a working party was convened consisting of AIT Maori groups and other stakeholders. As a result, a Marae that was appropriate for AIT purposes was completed soon after, with Walker Community Architects as project leaders.
The scope of the project comprised the Marae and courtyard development with lower level car parking, as well as all servicing requirements, and fencing and landscaping to create the sheltered environment required. The project was successfully tendered and constructed during 1996 and 1997, and with the addition of traditionally carved barge boards, panels and posts produced by Maori craftsmen the building has become a significant feature of the campus and city. 48

Jointly with Ngati Otara Marae and Otara Multi Sports Committees, a brief was prepared to fully understand the needs and functions of the community. This includes various sports clubs who will be utilising the buildings with the view of developing a business plan which would generate income for both buildings for its upkeep.
Numerous evening meetings were held with stakeholders to prepare a preliminary concept for approval by the Community Board. Dedicated facilities have been provided for each building, however, some common areas, there are some accessible by both entities. These included hangi area, small gym, office/meeting rooms, physiotherapy, and security room. A display area in front of the multi-sports complex has been earmarked to signify the versatile Otara Community. This could be in the form of sculptures or a storyboard. 49

AJ HACKETT BUNGY QUEENSTOWN // NEW ZEALAND CLIENT: AJ HACKETT BUNGY
I
n 2004 AJ Hackett Bungy had undergone significant extensions under Patterson Architects to provide an exciting interactive retail entrance and foyer to review and postscript the Bungy experience off the nearby Kawerau bridge. While successful for those jumping it was not for their families and friends who would not jump but wanted to come to share in the experience. A large domed retail cocoon dominated the steel and raw pre cast concrete interior and was an enclosure to a ‘rocking’ floor experience which was not popular. The proposal seeks to open up the raw interior by removing the cocoon and special floor, to introduce more space for visual and audio interactive experience for those not jumping, to see one’s progression from entry to centre, to watch others making the jump, their reactions down to the most detailed. More interactive activities are proposed near the bridge outside, again for those who did not want to take the big jump, as well as outside toilet facilities to cope with the huge numbers.
SHOTOVER JET HEAD OFFICE DESIGN COMPETITION QUEENSTOWN // NEW ZEALAND
U
sing a selected tender process, Shotover Jet wanted to replace their existing administration centre with an’ icon’ building to attract tourists from around the world, a building with better operational flows, with an emphasis on pre and post jet boat experience and with provision for more revenue oriented opportunity around jet boating. Selected as one of the two preferred schemes, the proposal achieved the complex design brief on a magnificent promontory site around which the Shotover river winds its way down to the Kawerau river then to the mighty Clutha river. The upturned roof tips to acknowledge the mountain side forces around the promontory site. Its underside, viewed from the river below, is furrowed like the underside of a jet boat, to grip the water. From the mountains above it appears as a saddle, a waka moving down the river gorge. A Pounamu greenstone welcomes the visitor. The very first jet boat used on the river has become reception counter and focus. Sweeping views surround the visitor on all sides with an invitation to see, hear, touch and move as part of the rushing and ebbing ‘river jet boating’ experience.
