Hampton Jones Enters the Auckland Architecture Association Public Good Design Competition
Last month, the Hampton Jones Design team competed in the 2019 Auckland Architecture Association Public Good Design Competition.
Our “tongue-in-cheek” title “Greenwash” Auckland reimagines the Dominion Road Flyover with a fresh and new urban design vision, reclaimed from traffic and redesigned as a walk and cycleway to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists. The public can enjoy panoramic views of the city with plants and vegetation, reducing vehicle congestion and carbon emissions making the city a better place for everyone.
Beneath the flyover is an unoccupied grass field in which we decided to utilize as a food truck area, welcoming locals and visitors to eat and relax. We also wanted to re-design the existing car tunnels and underground walkways to replicate the Waitomo glow worm caves with artificial lighting tying everything together to create a New Zealand native bush vibe.
Unfortunately we didn’t win… however it was still a super fun side project for our team to get creative together!
