Ō
Overview:
Ō’s objective is to create a sensorial experience that enhances interception. This is done through weaving holistic Māori wellness back into the local vernacular. Sincere interest in intelligent and sustainable design extends to every aspect of the geothermal journey, treading lightly with respect for the past, present and future. Materiality has been closely considered to help evoke a sense of place. Rammed earth draws similarities from the clay ground at Tokaanu. Charred timber mimics the trees that could not withstand the thermal conditions. A thatched roof references the resilient grasses and ponamu and rakau illustrate the ancient Māori massage, Mirimiri.
