Client: Whangārei District Council
Role: Project Landscape Architect (with Isthmus)

The Complete Streets Master Plan and design guide set out a design framework for the delivery of safe, attractive and welcoming streets—over the next three decades— that will contribute to a healthy economy and healthy environment. Working with Whangārei District Council (WDC), the Master Plan set a vision for the centre of Whangārei, focussing on streets for people and appropriate to the local lifestyle. The Master Plan took a network wide approach, developing a number of street typologies supported by a movement plan by our transport engineer partners. The wider plan featured potential development opportunities, to stimulate growth where required. Importantly, it was built of the energy of Whangārei, including the development of the Hundertwasser Museum, Pūtahi Park, and wider work within the Town Basin, and Hātea River.

Client: Eke Panuku, Auckland Council Healthy Waters, Kāinga Ora
Role: Lead Landscape Architect (with Isthmus)
Collaborators: WSP, Piritahi Alliance, Janine Williams, Reuben Kirkwood
Contractor: Piritahi Alliance
Greenslade Reserve, Northcote, Auckland (as part of Te Ara Awataha) is a urban regeneration project that unlocked the town centre of Northcote and was delivered for Kāinga Ora, Eke Panuku and Auckland Council (Healthy Waters). Greenslade Reserve was the starting point for the regeneration of the Northcote community. Fundamentally, the project is about water and the threat of flooding to the community. Greenslade Reserve was upgraded to provide stormwater detention by lowering the existing field including daylighting of a stream, and a full-sized rugby league field upgrade. The park also featured a fitness loop, terraces for watching sport and an integrated wall to prevent flooding. Connecting to Greenslade Reserve is Te Ara Awataha, a shared path that runs alongside the Awataha stream connecting into many community parks, and new residential developments.

Esk & Don Street, Invercargill
Location: Waihōpai, Invercargill (2020–2021)
Client: Invercargill City Council
Role: Lead Landscape Architect (with Isthmus)
Collaborators: Waihōpai Rūnaka, Bonisch, Abley, Coles, Pae Toi, WT Partnership, TBIG, Art Fetiche, EnergyLight, James Yorke (Artist)
Contractor: Downer Group
Invercargill City Council undertook a visionary master planning process to set the future aspirations of the city centre which led to the creation of their streetscape master plan. Following this, council progressed with the development of their two central streets, Esk and Don. The streets were identified as high amenity, low speed, people focused streets within the master plan which led to a fundamental revitalization of each street’s function. Esk Street was delivered as a shared space environment, while Don Street was changed to a two-way street. With a greater focus on people, both streets shared similar principles of providing greater resilience for stormwater through rain gardens, a climatic response to Invercargill’s unique environment, and each provided opportunities for warmth, shelter and moments for play through the design of the planting, paving and street furniture. The play along the way strategy for Esk Street highlights an interactive approach to story telling through, ‘follow’, ‘explore’ and ‘discovery’ elements.

Whangārei Town Basin Upgrade
Location: Whangārei (2021–2023)
Client: Whangārei District Council
Role: Lead Landscape Architect (with Isthmus)
Collaborators: GRIT, Flow Transportation Specialists, DVQS
Contractor: Robinsons Group
Whangārei District Council sought to upgrade part of the Town Basin to allow for a greater visitor experience. Aligned with the requirement to provide bus facilities for overseas cruise ship visitors, the brief was developed alongside the client to establish project principles which were then delivered through to implementation. The project reconfigured a primary entrance into the waterfront, to enhance the arrival sequence to other tourist attractions, the Hundertwasser Museum / Pūtahi Park, and to the adjacent playground upgrade (by others). It removed everyday car use, and provided provision for service and emergency vehicles to give pedestrian priority back to uses of the Hātea River / Town Basin. Mature pōhutukawa trees were relocated to provide character and shade to the precinct, and frame amenities such as seating & lawn areas. The area provides connections to a new architecturally design ablutions block, housing multiple toilets including adult changing future provision and a refuse station for local businesses.
Civic & Riddiford Gardens
Location: Hutt City (2013–2019)
Client: Hutt City Council
Role: Project Landscape Architect (with Isthmus)

Contractor: Naylor Love
Andrew was the project landscape architect on this masterplanning project within the council’s CBD development strategy which included the refurbishment of the Council’s Administration building and the building of new events centre. Once the pride of the Hutt City, the masterplan aimed to ‘stitch’ the gardens back into the civic precinct, rejuvenate the public space and associated streetscape back to their former selves, by introducing more programme and activity, whilst redefining the relationships the civic buildings have with the park. The project saw the production of a concept masterplan framework, which formed the basis for staged delivery in the comprehensive renewal of the park and its assets. Completion of construction works finished in 2019.
