LandLAB have worked closely with Eke Panuku Development Auckland on the transformation of Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter Precinct since 2003. We have contributed to the projects site wide masterplanning, transport integration, sustainable infrastructure and evolution of its public realm through advocacy, design and project delivery.
LandLAB Director Henry Crothers has been involved with the design-led redevelopment of the Wynyard Quarter since the project’s establishment in 2003. While Associate Director at Architectus Henry provided design leadership and development of the precincts early design concepts, the Wynyard Quarter Urban Design Framework (UDF), Sustainable Development Framework (SDF), providing expert urban design and landscape evidence to the Wynyard Quarter Plan Change 4. Additionally, he worked on the development of the Jellicoe Precinct Plan (2010), Wynyard Central Reference Designs and Design Guidelines (2017) and Wynyard South Precinct Plan (2020).
The Wynyard Quarter Plan Change was New Zealand’s first design-led plan change process and established Waterfront Auckland’s (now Eke Panuku) ongoing commitment to design excellence, sustainability and innovation.
LandLAB have provided the design leadership for several public realm projects including Karanga Plaza, Halsey Wharf, Tank Park, Daldy Street Linear Park, Amey Daldy Park and currently Te Ara Tukutuku.
Wynyard Quarter has continually pushed best practice design approaches to sustainability, green infrastructure, cultural resonance, urban innovation alongside sensitive responses to site, culture and placemaking_
The concept establishes four robust and clear design principles that provide contextual connections to Auckland’s wider landscape and strengthen urban connections to existing waterfront activity and the adjacent CBD. These concepts inform an open space network that provides a highly connected, legible and generous public realm that prioritise waterfront access and reveal the site’s industrial and marine heritage.
