Sketch Series 1.0
Every project starts with a sketch.
Before the drawings, before the details, before the decisions there is an idea or an observation. A moment of noticing what is already there.
We are pleased to launch our Sketch Series, sharing early thoughts, loose lines, and raw moments that shape our projects from the very beginning. This is where ideas are tested, questioned, and gradually brought into focus, setting the foundation for everything that follows.
Our first sketch looks to Ahuriri, Napier. Our team works across the motu, and we have more recently been spending time in Ahuriri, observing, listening, and taking it all in.
