Mountain Munchkins / Mt Victoria Kindergarten
Trimester Two, 2023
Mountain Munchkins is an early childhood education facility on Mt Victoria that embodies the concept of the treehouse. Mountain Munchkins seeks to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for children and their families.
The proposed kindergarten seeks to celebrate human-centric design whilst minimising harm to the natural landscape (Te Taiao) by lifting the structure off of the ground. Mountain Munchkins seeks to provide adaptable spaces to the community to allow for collective use, requiring free plans with comfortable social spaces. The project seeks to take inspiration from the Living Building Challenge to strive towards a more sustainable future.

Victoria St Village Trimester One, 2023
Victoria St Vertical Village explores the connection between the city and sea. Wellington is expected to experience a housing deficit of 5,248 by 2047, and it is crucial we start exploring higher density living options. This site is to house co-working spaces, apartments, and light rail transit hub. These programmes are to interconnect with one another to aid in the transition between the commerical and the residential. This project seeks to reimagine inner city living in Wellington CBD. This medium-high density build seeks to create communities that bring people together whilst allowing for indivualisation of the living space. Courtyards are to be utilised to create communal outdoor living spaces. The design is to be informed by the Wellington waterfront framework, which seeks to create shared spaces that enhance the user experience across the harbour. New buildings are to be complementary to, and of appropriate scale in relation to the surrounding buildings. Public spaces are to contribute to the vitality, recreational potential, and social inclusiveness of the waterfront. Passive surveillance and better public transport options should be explored and should include some form of shelter.
