Selected Project
Nelson Orthodontics Richmond Practice
Our client was sympathetic to the existing residential built environment and wanted to reduce the visual impact of a commercial building on the site. Our response was a two level building that presents a perforated screen to the street with a bespoke artwork that would give something back to the community. Consultation with Maori artist, Robin Slow resulted in a facade that brings delight. Robin’s work ‘Haumanu’ depicts "Manu (birds) which are our connectors between earth and sky, between the physical and the spiritual. Haumanu is to restore to health, or rejuvenate." From inside the clinic, filtered light and pocket views are other benefits provided by the external screening.
