Kent and Cambridge Terraces are some of Wellington’s busiest but most industrial-looking streets. Yet, despite its outward appearance, the terraces were once home to natural resources that were important for the wildlife and people of Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Beneath the paved road runs Waitangi Stream. With increasing water problems plaguing the capital, Wellington Water suggests that daylighting the stream may be a potential solution to some of these issues, while also creating a fantastic green space in the middle of an urban metropolis. To visualise what this might look like, DCM Urban Design developed a series of illustrations showing the daylighted Waitangi Stream running through Kent Terrace. As seen in the Dominion Post.

“Dave and the team at DCM Urban Design were great to work with on this project which culminated in the launch of the Hastings Residential Intensification Design Guide in February 2021. The Design Guide has been well received by the development community in Heretaunga. DCM’s 3D images demonstrating how key design elements can be incorporated into development projects are an excellent way to communicate this information visually. These images along with DCM’s sketches and illustrations showing what the future development potential of existing sites and buildings could be, have inspired the development community in Hastings. DCM’s willingness to ‘go the extra mile’ has enabled us to produce a document that we are extremely proud of and one that is stimulating new ways to provide housing in Hastings.”
