| 61 Inspired design a winner T T from page 59 Construkt Architects & Fletcher Living: Te Uru Walk-up Terraces ARCHITECTURE Cultural designer, Mei Hill from Patiki Studio, an artist/designer mandated by Ngā Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara, was engaged with and contributed to the design of the patterned brick facades to the marker buildings. These facades celebrate the cultural history of the site, ensuring it will continue to be celebrated in the years to come, says Madushin. While adhering to the architectural style of Te Uru to introduce variety into the surrounding district, the project ensures that the streetscape maintains a recognisable residential vernacular. The precinct’s framework plan necessitated the integration of various aspects into each development. The client’s focus extended beyond compliance to also provide an efficient, cost-effective product that aligns with the precinct’s goals of liveability and sustainability,” explains Madushin. The landscape’s pallet incorporates a rich mix of native and specimen planting; small fruit and specimen trees, shrubs and grasses encouraging the return of native insects and bird life.
