Opportunities

• enhancing current Himatangi identity - Quiet, laid back, beach community.
• creating something unique to Himatangi, which integrates their identity.
• incorporating Himatangi's potential for growth into the design - allowing for additions to the design, for the design itself to 'grow'.
• giving the locals opportunities to contribute towards the design, and to continue to contribute towards it.
• creating something that is both memorable for the community and visitors, encouraging people to visit and cementing Himatangi as a destination.

Objectives

• creating something that encases Himatangi's identity, through the use of materials.
• to get the community involved with the project, to create something that they can be proud of.
• to allow for growth - not something that becomes stagnant; continues to grow.
• create a unique experience for both the locals and visitors.
• create a way that entices people to slow down when entering the town.

Strategy

• create the structure from organic materials, and mostly sourced from Himatangi, such as driftwood and sand.
