WHARE ĀKONGA — TAURAROA AREA SCHOOL
Designed as a contemporary interpretation of a traditional Whare, this project was shaped through early engagement with local hapū — helping inform a respectful and meaningful design response grounded in cultural identity and connection to place.
Delivered for the Ministry of Education, the new Whare Ākonga provides a strong and welcoming focal point for Tauraroa Area School, combining natural timber detailing, a generous Ātea, and framed views to the surrounding maunga.
The full project has now been uploaded to our website — check out the link in our bio to see more.
