2025 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Te Ara Pekapeka
A significant infrastructure project for Kirikiriroa Hamilton handled with a respectful sensitivity of cultural and ecological imperatives. These beautiful bridges are a testament to what can be achieved through positive collaborations. The vision and tenacity of all those involved (client group, iwi, professional consultants and craft-oriented fabricators and artists) have set a new benchmark for public works with this project. The resulting landmark is an impressive addition to the landscape of Kirikiriroa, weaving historical, cultural and physical connections to the Waikato River.
