Walking and cycling
The upper North Island is investing heavily in walking and cycling, and rightly so. Designed only as engineering, a route is merely functional. Designed as public space, it becomes one of the best-loved parts of a town: shaded where it should be, wider where people pause, detailed with obvious care.
We design cycleways, walkways and transport-edge landscapes, carrying ecology along the corridor and treating a noise wall as a green edge rather than a grey barrier.
Designing the in-between
Infrastructure is full of in-between spaces: the strip beside the rail line, the foot of a noise wall, the join between a path and a road. These are the parts most projects ignore, and the parts we care about most. Treated with intent, they carry planting, shelter and habitat, and quietly make a whole corridor better to move through.
