The Aurecon Stairs (Te Tihi) showcase how engineered timber can combine sustainability, cultural storytelling, and striking design.
Featuring precision-fabricated CLT and Glulam elements, the project delivered a ‘floating’ stair structure that minimised waste, reduced embodied carbon by 6.4 tonnes CO₂-eq, and incorporated intricate Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei designs.
This case study highlights the benefits of digital fabrication, prefabrication, and cultural integration in mid-rise timber construction.
