Turoa Terminal
By HB Architecture
These two new structures are built in a visually and ecologically sensitive area of the National Park at 1.923m and 2,320m ASL on the Turoa side of Mt. Ruapehu. The basic concept was to enclose the top and bottom masts of the chair lift mechanism with a “tight” building envelope constructed from as many prefabricated components as possible.
The solution – precast concrete wall panels in steel frames, heavy and lightweight profiled steel to roof and walls with polycarbonate sheeting to “windows” – all attached to a structural steel frame. These wall and roof components were modelled to reflect and respond to the ever-changing environment. Completed by Grant Harris whilst at Ignite Architects.
