Windross Farm Golf Clubrooms

Following the sale of their old course, the Manukau Golf Club has built a new course at Ardmore, known as Windross Farm, which opened in mid-2016. Following a design competition, ASC Architects was engaged to design the new clubrooms and related facilities.

Located in the centre of the new course, the brief required a north facing, single level building with good views of the course including the 18th green. The main building includes a main lounge and adjacent Cafe which could be used separately or combined to form one large space.

Tairua Library

Completed in 2008, this project for the Thames Coromandel District Council includes a small library, a community meeting room and ancillary spaces, to suit the current needs of the local community. The building has replaced an old temporary prefab library that served the district for many years.

Located behind the main shopping area on a site zoned for the future commercial development of Tairua, the library is the first building within the proposed master plan for that area. It has been designed so the building can be extended to the north if required, where parking will initially be provided at the rear of the building.

Ellerslie Recreation Centre

Overlooking soccer and cricket playing fields, this Auckland City Council recreational facility houses several tenants providing a variety of functions including a crèche, aerobics hall, fitness club, sports clubs and other community uses.

The major upgrade of the existing building, completed in October 2003, allows for better access to the upper main floor and the rationalization of the use of internal space.

Otuawhaki Visitor Centre

The Otuawhaki Visitor Centre is located on a prominent site at the eastern end of the town’s commercial district, the new visitors’ centre overlooks the Whakatane River and its mouth to the sea.

The form of the building is a simple curve responding to both the curving road in front of the site and the meandering river behind. A flat roof limited the height of the building and hence its impact on views. Extensive glazed canopies, verandas and fabric sunshades help bring the building to life and give it the required ‘prominence’ sought by the brief.
