Auckland Council required an investigation into new changerooms and clubroom development at a South Auckland park.
106 Architects were engaged to undertake a two-stage process that would increase provision for changing rooms and clubrooms at McLennan Park in Papakura.
Working with Council officers and the local clubs on the park, we presented several preliminary concept sketch options (together with QS pricing) for review and discussion.
Once the group arrived at the preferred option (refurbishment of the existing Scout Hall), we prepared detailed design documents for consent then appointed a contractor. 106 Architects acted as Engineer to the Contract under NZS3910 to deliver the upgraded facility.
The proposed facility, which is maintained by the Council, includes four unisex change rooms and public (accessible) amenities to service the users on the park.

Who we are
106 Architects has a work-model that emphasises collaboration, prototyping and testing. We love to get close to our end-users to understand their needs and challenges. To do this we shape our internal team based diversity and skills we can all learn from. We value people who have an attitude for ‘skin in the game’ thinking, who can test and challenge ways of doing things.
What we do
Architecture has the capability to inspire and connect people. Through a design-led and collaborative approach, 106 Architects build a specific team for each project. A clear point of difference is in our design, consultation and delivery tools.
We build relationships before buildings.
The connections we nurture with our clients underpin the success of our designs – designs, Third Place Thinking™, that harmoniously bring together aesthetics, sustainability, functionality, on-going operations and budgets, with the wider social, cultural and commercial interests.
