“Located in an ecologically sensitive area, the Dolomite Point Redevelopment Project required special consideration for native species, including lizards, migratory seabirds, and the great spotted kiwi. The result is a built environment that treads lightly in form and footprint. 3 Laminated veneer lumber forms the project’s structural backbone, paired with green roofs and low-carbon materials that reflect a strong sustainability ethos. Beyond its environmental commitments, the project also prioritises social outcomes, engaging the local community and partnering with iwi to reflect cultural narratives embedded in the land.”
