Mahere Whenua translating to 'land maps' is a typeface inspired by topographic maps. It draws upon topography as art, being a psychedelic mix of creativity, science, and culture.

Mahere Whenua: a type specimen

This project looked at an existing well known apartment complex in Wellington - Gordon Wilson Flats. Flat C was chosen, then existing drawings were created. From there, the apartment was redesigned, specified and presented. The designer used colours from the 50s, when the building was built as well as ample storage to ensure the small studio apartment wasn't cluttered..

Gordon Wilson Flats Design Spec

The proposed installation looks into providing students with individual spaces to be their cocoon. These spaces allow students to use their electronic devices to study, make video calls and relax. The design idea offers small pods attached to the atrium columns with different shapes and colours. As the design works primarily with the columns, it could easily be applicable to the other levels.
