Nga Hau Mangere Birthing Centre is an example of an essential public service that had the local community front and centre from its conception right through to completion. The complex consists of 20 self-contained birthing suites, each with a bathroom in an area large enough to cater to the whole whanau. A reception foyer greets new entrants and exists in close proximity to the midwife's offices and central amenities. 

Nga Hau Mangere Birthing Centre, located in the current Mangere Town Centre, is proof that the integration of tradition and an acknowledgement of ancestry can benefit modern solutions. By understanding the needs and motivations of the community, you can create something that will continue to invoke togetherness, connection and culture.

About the
Professional

FIRST PRINCIPLES Architects and Interiors strive to consistently achieve the best design solution for all our Clients. Our Philosophy is to ‘Design from First Principles’.

We are socially responsible and understand that all designs have an impact on people’s lives. Through a collaborative team approach, we design for the needs of the people, both material and spiritual. Our Architecture, when embraced as Art, is both culturally respectful and environmentally sensitive. We value building strong relationships with our clients and are always mindful of their operational needs, financial criteria and timelines.

Innovative design opens our eyes to the best and most appropriate technologies, together with an appreciation of colour, texture and light to create dynamic spaces and form.

We believe that architecture should adopt passive building performance elements and a low energy footprint, resulting in meaningful design that seamlessly integrates into any natural site or the urban fabric.

Our design approach is one of simplicity, efficiency and legibility.
