New Accommodation for the Chatham Islands to be built in 2018. The building has been designed around the construction constraints of working in an off-shore remote location. A raw minimal materials palette combined with strong geometric lines compliments the buildings harsh location. Rooms are recessed into the building shell to create private and sheltered accommodation. The development includes back-up power generation, water harvesting and high levels of thermal and acoustic performance.
