Our story
Tā mātau kōrero
We set up our studio to provide an end-to-end service in visitor experience planning, project management and design.
Dedicated to creating meaningful visitor attractions and public spaces, we’ve tackled diverse and challenging briefs, and helped a raft of amazing projects take flight.
These have wowed visitors, taken out awards and become highly successful models in the cultural sector.
Our spaces have moved people to tears, sparked conversation and play, and created connection across generations and cultures. These responses deeply move us and motivate all that we do.
The wonder of water
Te whakamīharo o te wai
With the Heretaunga Water Discovery Centre Waiaroha, we transformed a politically
charged conversation into a meeting place for curiosity and understanding. More than a
high-tech water treatment plant, Waiaroha is a visitor experience in the heart of Hastings
where people of all ages can explore, learn and get hands on enjoying the wonder of water.
