Ngā Huia is a major project within Massey University’s 10‑plus‑year, $160 million redevelopment of the Tāwharau Ora | School of Veterinary Science. Replacing outdated mid‑20th‑century facilities, the Stage 3 building strengthens Massey’s role as Aotearoa New Zealand’s only veterinary school and reinforces its status as a world‑class, research‑driven institution. The building features specialist laboratories, collaborative learning and office spaces, and a culturally grounded design developed in partnership with local mana whenua, Rangitāne o Manawatū.

Ngā Huia now stands as a flagship for veterinary science in Aotearoa—technically advanced, culturally grounded, and purpose‑designed to support Massey’s students, researchers, and the nation’s agricultural and biosecurity future.

A rewarding opportunity has opened for a Registered Architect to join our Wellington team.

You might be the architect we’re looking for if…

• You love seeing a project through, from first sketch to the last site visit.
• You’re calm under pressure, confident on site, and practical when things get tricky.
• You care deeply about design quality and you know how to deliver.
• You enjoy collaborating, mentoring others, and contributing to a studio culture that values openness over ego.

At CCM, we’re an award winning Wellington practice working across healthcare, education, workplaces, civic and diplomatic projects. We’re problem solvers, turning complex needs into architecture that’s functional, thoughtful, and beautifully resolved.

We’re looking for a Registered Architect who’s ready to run projects end to end, work closely with directors and clients, and safeguard design intent all the way through construction.

Over the past 20 years, Peter ‘PK’ Kirby has played a pivotal role in shaping CCM’s project delivery.

An expert in tackling challenging healthcare projects and technical construction detailing, PK also leads our IT and Building Information Modelling management.

From Greymouth Hospital to Queenstown Airport and the Vogel Integrated Campus, his leadership and extensive industry knowledge have helped defined some of our most important projects. For the past few years PK has been heavily involved in the alterations and streamlining of patient services at the Palmerston North Regional Hospital.

Peter’s commitment to technical quality, professional delivery, mentorship, and collaboration has left a lasting mark on both the studio and the people who’ve been privileged enough to work alongside him.

Everyone at CCM is proud to celebrate this incredible milestone. Cheers PK, for 20 years of creativity, leadership, and dedication to CCM’s vision. Ngā mihi nui.

It was a fantastic night celebrating all the outstanding women in construction at the recent NAWIC Excellence Awards in Auckland.

Our very own, very talented Sheryl Lewis was a finalist in the Outstanding Leader of the Year – Office category and attended the evening along with two of CCM’s directors Guy Cleverley and Brett Nicholas.

It was great to support and recognise the incredible wahine leading the way across all facets of the construction industry.

Mānawatia a Matariki

As Matariki and Puanga return to our skies, CCM acknowledge this important time of reflection, remembrance, preparation, and renewal.

Matariki invites us to pause and reflect. To honour those who came before us, to reconnect with those around us, and to look ahead with purpose. As designers of the built environment, we’re reminded of the deep connections between people, culture, and place that shape our work here in Aotearoa.

Wishing you a peaceful and inspiring Matariki season.

Fa'amanatuina le vaiaso o le gagana Samoa, Celebrating Samoa Language Week!

In recognition of Samoa Language week, we are reflecting on our Samoa High Commission project, completed in 2022.

We were given the privilege of designing a replacement chancery in Wellington which provided a new home for diplomatic operations and created an opportunity to celebrate and promote the culture and identity of Samoa.

The building form, facade geometry, patterns, and colours were carefully developed to reference Samoan culture, including Nifo o le malie (triangular ‘sharks teeth’) representing strength, guile, and protection on the front of the building; and raking feature columns representing leaning coconut trees.

Internally, lower doorways reflect traditional fale and encourage the custom of tulou (bowing), while higher ceilings reference those found in fale tele (meeting houses). Motifs derived from Samoan Siapo pattern-making and tatau adorn the interiors and exterior glazing.

For the Samoan Government represented by the Samoa High Commission of New Zealand.

We extend our thanks to the staff working on the project. In particular, tribute to the past High Commissioner Leasi Papali’i Scanlan and his team, as well as to the current High Commissioner His Excellency Afamasaga F. Toleafoa.

Tūāraki House – The second dwelling on an existing section in Wellington, designed to co-locate whānau whilst maintaining independance for each household. Modest in scale, the house is placed on site to provide privacy and amenity to both houses as well as allowing the possibility of subdivision as separate properties in the future.

The design accentuates a sense of spaciousness and provides good outlook. Carefully considered cross ventilation cools the house in summer without feeling drafty, even on the windiest of Wellington days!

One of the client’s favourite design elements is a small window located by the kitchen bench. The single opening, carefully placed in an otherwise blank façade, brings in glorious morning sun whilst maintaining privacy to adjacent neighbours.
