The last architectural design by the late Austrian artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the Hundertwasser Art Centre with Wairau Māori Art Gallery, is scheduled for completion in December.

In the most significant upgrade to Auckland’s ferry infrastructure since the Edwardian Auckland Ferry Terminal was built in 1912, the Isthmus-designed Te Ngau o Horotiu opened to the public in July. The downtown ferry basin redevelopment project comprises the new six-berth Ferry Landing together with the public downtown waterfront space, Te Wānanga.
“Over the next 10 years, it’s projected the number of people travelling through the ferry terminal will increase by up to 50 per cent from the six million people a year that currently travel through it,” explains Isthmus project lead Andrew Mirams.
Isthmus worked collaboratively with Auckland Transport, Auckland Council, mana whenua partners and key stakeholders to improve accessibility and ensure greater operational flexibility.
