Riddlers Crescent, Lower Hutt DATE: (1995) POSITION HELD: Architect and conservator for the preparation of design guidelines for Riddlers Crescent, Lower Hutt CLIENT: Hutt City Council. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Riddlers Crescent is a group of largely domestic buildings which were constructed after the 1906 subdivision of an area farmed since the 1850≠s by early settlers. Most of the houses were constructed by local builder/developers as speculative developments between 1906 and 1910. The design of the houses are typical of the period and which fall into two style of building, one being villas, and the other being semi detached workers housing. The designers made use of a limited palette of scale, forms, arrangement of openings, and location on site. The design, location and orientation of these buildings have combined to create a picturesque, informal and human scaled character to this small suburban area of Petone. The qualities of the built form of Petone have been acknowledged and appreciated by the local residents who are keen to respect and preserve its character while allowing compatible and appropriate development. Design guides and district plan rules were written for the street. Karori Reservoir Karori, Wellington DATE: (1994/2001) POSITION HELD: Architect and conservator for the preparation of a conservation plan (1994) and the design and documentation of the repairs and restoration of the valve tower and boat shed. CLIENT: Wellington regional Council and the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary Trust BUILDING DESCRIPTIONS: The valve tower and boat shed are both good examples of the New Zealand Carpenter Gothic style. The engineer has selected a style creating two very picturesque structures which elevate their importance greatly above their mundane functions. As an early large scale use of mass concrete construction, the dam is very significant in the civil engineering history of Australasia, and its survival and recent satisfactory condition report, testifies to the design ability of its engineer, Marchant. The location of the dam in a bush clad valley has created a setting of great beauty and the design and position of the buildings in the setting further enhances the very high visual qualities of the area. The picturesqueness of the setting and the building styles are complementary, showing a high design sensitivity both to structures and landscape by the engineer. The structures are unique in the Wellington region and rare nationally. The building functions and styles are rare in New Zealand, and the dam construction is seminal in Australasian civil engineering. The group of structures and location in the valley have created a landmark landscape in New Zealand of very great beauty. The valve tower is a class 1 registered building under the Historic Places Act of 1993. The building is registered as Category 1 on the New Zealand Historic Places Register of historic places and historic areas. The boat shed is a class 2 registered building. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Preparation of a conservation plan (1994) and the design and documentation of the repairs and restoration of the valve tower and boat shed.

CLIENT: Museum of New Zealand, Massey University BUILDING DESCRIPTIONS: A combined Museum, Art Gallery and National War Memorial Carillon was agreed upon in 1928 by the Government.

Approximately nine acres was vested with the National Art Gallery, Dominion Museum and War Memorial Carillon in 1930 following the passing an act establishing the new entity. The foundation stone was laid on 14 March 1934 by Lord Bledisloe, Governor-General. The new gallery also housed the NZ Academy of Fine Arts. The land on which the buildings are sited is also of historical significance as part of the land purchased by William Wakefield in 1839, and which was designated as a Public Reserve in 1840. The Reserve status of the land remains today. The military significance of the site is also considerable with associations with early military activity as well as during the Second World War as the Defence headquarters. As the National Museum and Art Gallery, the building has a unique function in New Zealand. Its design is an outstanding example of the interpretation of a relatively common international style of the period, while is siting, scale and forms have created a landmark in architectural and urban design terms. The foyer and Maori Halls are two space which use volume, materials and design which are rare and outstanding monumental New Zealand spaces . The National Museum is a class 1 registered building under the Historic Places Act of 1993. The building is registered as Category 1 on the New Zealand Historic Places Register of historic places and historic areas. The National Museum is listed in the Wellington City Council District Plan.
