The He Puna Taimoana development in New Brighton consists of five hot pools, a plunge pool, sauna, steam room and an enclosed relaxation area. It is conceived as a careful reconciliation between the dynamic nature of the ocean and man-made forms. That tension and balance is translated through the architectural and sculptural forming of the landscape, pools and buildings. The site is terraced to provide shelter from the prevailing wind, while the built forms “wrap, crack and push out” to create shelter and shade. The material palette enhances the building’s architectural integrity through the everchanging weather and landscape conditions.
