Depot* is a case study on the newest building at Massey University; Te Ara He Hiko. In particular the studio space on level D. The space was dictated as a shared studio for different disciplines to work collaborativly. However, this did not happen straight away. Ideas where tested and implemented to try and solves the issues and resolve why this proven benificial idea was not working in this particular space. 

The Depot* was created as a workshop trolley that housed and stored instruments and tools that students across all disciplines use daily. Reset each night at 5pm, the trolley would be monitered by a member of staff to ensure the security and usability of the trolley. Zoned inside a 'working, doing messy space' the trolley was quickly adapted to this studio environment and is still being used today in different locations.

The Pohutukawa house is a retreat in Makara. Makara is located at the western edge of Wellington, New Zealand, close to the shore of the Tasman Sea. With winding road access from Karori or Johnsonville, Makara is a rural area with sparse development. Only a short drive from Wellington City, this site serves as a get away for visiting international business partners of 'made in New Zealand' companies. By repurposing and restoring a 1940's state house, visitors are treated to a real slice of New Zealand history,experience and landscape. 

The state house has been recreated into a building that encourages social experiences and also offers individual retreats. The main structure is split into three sections. One for eating, one for socialising and experiencing and one for business requirments. Because of the nature of the site and Wellington's extreme weather conditions, a shelterd interior courtyard takes up a large section of the main structure. This offeres visitors a shelterd outdoor experience that still embraces the amazing views of the Tasman Sea. Behind this main structure, stepping up the hill through the landscape are 6 individual huts. These huts mimic the structure of the larger and sleep up to two people with there own individual bathing and workspace facilities. 

The overall aim of the Pohutukawa house is to provide international visitors with a taste of New Zealand culture while they visit our amazing country.
