Paparoa National Park Visitor Centre

The extraordinary Paparoa National Park Visitor Centre was built with sustainability and ecological impact at the fore front of the project. Both inside and out the national park centre was designed to complement and integrate with the surrounding environment. 

Home to the renown pancake-shaped rock formations, blowholes and surge pools, the redevelopment of the Visitor Centre extensively upgrades key facilities at one of the most visited sites on the West Coast. 

Externally the building includes a green roof and was designed to curved around the existing Nikau forest without disturbing it. Internally the building is clad with timber from the linings to the cabinetry. This adds the rich warmth and comfort of timber throughout the build. Using timber products internally also adds to sustainability with long lasting natural products that carry external natural beauty through the building.  

Plymasters Euro Birch Multiply was chosen for joinery from the product displays to the incredible, twisting counters created by Jb Joinery that replicates the natural motion of the surrounding West Coast. Our Euro Birch Multiply offers durability in high traffic areas with a beautiful, light timber finishes. The strength and long lasting nature of birch as well its quick growth making it a great renewable resource aiding the sustainability goals of this huge project.
