This project involved close work with the school kaumātua, Māori department staff, and Ngāti Kahu o Torongare in a manner that supports tikanga Māori. Design principles developed by and for Ngāti Kahu o Torongare underpin a set of core cultural values that have become the foundation shaping, informing, and guiding the project.
In collaboration with Matakohe Architecture + Urbanism—who led the cultural design component—the outcome is a series of buildings purposefully designed to meet the needs of the community for generations to come.
