Designing Papakāinga Developments

Over our 30 years in architecture we’ve designed many housing developments, both for private developers and retirement villages which led us into involvement with Papakāinga developments.  

Whether it be the masterplan, then right through to detailed drawings and getting building consent, or maybe just site, foundation and drainage plans, we can help you with the designs, plans and consents required for your upcoming Papakāinga Housing projects.

Below is an example of a 44 house Papakāinga project we were involved with in the Far North.

Papakāinga Projects 

Other projects we’ve been involved with include:

  • 8 Whare Papakāinga development in Hokianga
  • 2 x 6 Cabin developments at Te Paki for cyclone recovery 
  • 47 Whare development in Kerikeri

In addition to the above we have worked with several large retirement villages to deliver projects in excess of 100 villas, which have similarities with the design and construction process of Papakāinga Housing.

Papakāinga Site Layouts & Masterplans 

One of the most common questions is around the site layout and whare positioning. It can be influenced by the land shape, slope, sun, wind and views, but also the use of the whare and specific whanau needs who will be living in them. 

The below two examples show variations of site layout design.
