GARDEN WORKSHOP
At the end of a Rānui suburban cul-de-sac
A community garden is growing
With water, at the centre of life
Entering from the street,
A wide gentle ramp welcomes us,
Reminiscent of the surrounding trees,
A solid trunk is grown out of the ground
Draped over with a large roof canopy
Anchored down with water tanks
A multifunctional workshop space with an abundance of tools & knowledge,
community kitchen, and most importantly - hygienic toilet facilities,
Serves the community garden growers well throughout the year.
The practical needs of this community have been provided,
accentuated and celebrated
through its architectural form.
A highly local and universal building typology.
Sustainability here is in
Natural low carbon building materials,
Rainwater collection and usage,
Solar power,
Passive shading and ventilation,
and space for local social connections and pollination of knowledge.

About the
Professional
W3 is an Architecture & Art practice with over a decade of experience based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa NZ. We focus on bespoke design for residential & community, buildings & interiors and design to range of budgets, using innovative processes and technologies. W3 explore and communicate concepts and systems, and collaborate with partners to design a more socially and environmentally sustainable future.
Our designs are inspired by artistic concepts, grounded in sophisticated design principles, and finely crafted details, which result in interesting, beautiful and enduring architecture. We highly value our natural environment and always aim to reduce our impact on it, in the process our buildings are built, inhabited and maintained.
Our clients range from families wishing to improve or build their homes with varying budgets and requirements, to larger organisations and developers managing multiple buildings and spaces. We enjoy working with clients and developers who design, build, inhabit, and maintain their buildings, and have found the most successful projects have been when all parties have a long term investment in buildings.
