Is my Design Any Good?
This document has a series of questions that will help you evaluate your concept
You must show how you early design proposal(s) meet the needs of the site and users in the broadest terms. This needs to be done visually with some supporting notes and labels
Ōhinetahi valley at the head of Whakaraupō (Lyttelton) harbour, was once the site of a heavily stockaded Ngāti Māmoe pā that was stormed by Te Rakiwhakaputa of Ngāi Tahu around 300 years ago.
After its capture, Te Rakiwhakaputa’s son Manuhiri occupied the pā with a party of Ngāi Tahu.
Manuhiri fathered many sons but only one daughter. He named the pā after this solitary daughter. Ōhinetahi means The Place of One Daughter.
It is also from this area that the whole of the harbour derives its name. Whakaraupō means Harbour of the Raupō Reed, and at the head of the harbour at Ōhinetahi there was once a swamp filled with a thick and high growth of raupō.

Our Vision
To enhance the carpark opposite the Sign of the Bellbird through the addition of a low stone wall, a lookout area, steps down to Ohinetahi Reserve and native plantings. The view out over Lyttelton Harbour is iconic and this development aims to enhance this experience.
Background
For a number of years, the Society has proposed enhancing the carpark area opposite the Sign of the Bellbird above Ohinetahi Reserve. Discussions were underway when the earthquakes struck and this project was placed on hold.
Feedback and the results of an engineering survey informed the next version of these concept drawings. These are advanced concepts and will be developed as we progress into the project design phase.
We are working in partnership with the Christchurch City Council. The carpark is owned and managed by the Council and the new lookout area is on Ohinetahi Reserve.
This links you to the government website with information on the building code. While your resolved design will not go through building compliance it is important that you consider some relevant issues when designing.
