View in Full Screen

Design Vision: To provide amenities and infrastructure at Momorangi Bay that enhance the coastal experience in a New Zealand Aotearoa setting. The experience will avoid the homogenous, generic and frantic coastal resort design approach and will instead create a sanctuary that is inspired by the surrounding natural environment.The design will seek to harmoniously blend designed elements in with the landscape through approaches using small footprints for built elements. Protecting, enhancing and designing with the existing natural landscape is paramount in maintaining the landscape experience, there will be a significant reduction in visitor numbers to the region. Furthermore, connections to Māori history and narratives at Momorangi Bay will be revealed through design and will become an educational site for visitors to gain knowledge of both the human and culture of such a special place.
