te mĀTĀwai - 139 GREYS AVENUE REDEVELOPMENT

We’re immensely proud to be Project Managers on the redevelopment of Kāinga Ora’s public housing complex Te Mātāwai, at 139 Greys Avenue. Te Mātāwai is the largest, single site supported housing development by Kāinga Ora to date and is part of the Government’s housing programme.

Consisting of three towers linked by a central podium and accommodating 276 apartments, with at least 200 retained as social housing, Te Mātāwai provides tenants with access to around-the-clock, on-site support services. Facilities include medical rooms, commercial kitchen, computer room, communal laundry and dining. Kāinga Ora will help residents build social support networks and access services including healthcare, counselling, budgeting, skills development, and employment assistance that will improve wellbeing and provide opportunity.

Te Mātāwai incorporates significant local iwi Ngāti Whatua Ōrākei cultural design elements within the architecture, interior, and landscape design. Everything says community at its heart. Meeting Kāinga Ora’s design standards whilst trying to push the boundaries with innovation and ensure the best outcome for this apartment type development was an important factor for the wider project team’s approach. Kāinga Ora has placed great emphasis on achieving broader outcomes throughout the project.

oranga tamariki, Pāpāmoa

Oranga Tamariki have moved into their new two-level home in Domain Road in Pāpāmoa, with the new site named Ngā Parirau. It brings staff from the Tauranga office to this location, enhancing collaboration and Oranga Tamariki’s service.

The Building Intelligence Group have worked with Oranga Tamariki on several office fitouts and furniture replacement programmes across New Zealand, and our local team in Tauranga were ideally placed to bring this knowledge and consistency to the table. TBIG were engaged to provide Project Management services for the Pāpāmoa office accommodation fitout works over 1,360m².

With the Landlord’s agreement, Oranga Tamariki were able to introduce several sustainable features to the project including a full solar array on the roof, electric vehicle charging stations and e-bike stations. The Oranga Tamariki fitout also features a unique colour palette to echo Pāpāmoa, and the colours reflect the beach, sand dunes, reeds, flaxes, and the Pāpāmoa Hills.

The new fitout was widely appreciated when the staff moved in. The project team worked exceptionally well together to achieve the project’s completion and the success story it is today.
