Paretapu Development
By Cottee Parker
After a collaborative consultation process with Ngāti Hauā and the wider community, Paretapu Developmentis an honest and enduring master-planned community that fosters family and provides homes for the growth of Waharoa’s future generations.
Consisting of 40 dwellings including a diversity of typologies ranging from accessible Kaumātua units to 5 bed homes, Paretapu Developmentis set in a former horticulture plot to the Southeastern edge of the existing Waharoa township.
Centred around a communal green space and community centre, the master-planned proposal seeks to breath life into the new community by subtly supporting permeability within the site using simple yet hardy materials and active frontages as well as enabling clear visual connections beyond the site to the local sporting fields and Kaimai ranges from afar.
Paretapu Developmentwill set a precedent for appropriate medium-density communities within the greater Waikato, New Zealand.
