3 Proposed Conditions Lindsay Daysh v5 22.2.2014
Basin Bridge Project
Wellington Northern Corridor RoNS
Provide a design that responds to and interprets tangata whenua values including
the historical wetland ecology of the former Waitangi Lagoon, now the Basin Reserve
and Kent/ Cambridge corridor;
Design wetland terraces as functional rain gardens, to receive, filter and detain
stormwater from the bridge, adjacent paths and roads;
Contribute a complementary ‘foreground’ landscape to the bridge abutment landing,
the relocated former Crèche, the Carillon and NWM Park beyond in views from Kent
and Cambridge Terrace;
Provide accessible, functional, high amenity landscape spaces that respect the NWM
Park sequence of public space; and
Incorporate separate paths for accessible public pedestrian and fast easy to use cycle
circulation linking with the NWM Park, Buckle Street and Kent/ Cambridge corridor.
Develop a landscape interface to the relocated former Crèche to:
Structure, interpret and reflect the sloping topography of the valley edge and the
former wetland environment of Waitangi Lagoon;
Complement and reinforce the presence of the former Crèche in its new elevated
location adjacent to Zone 1 and include design interpretation that recognises the
former location of the Crèche within the landscape; and
Incorporate public pedestrian and cycle access to the former Crèche, the bridge and
the NWM Park beyond.
Zone 1 Detailed design considerations
This landscape provides an important foreground to the view of the bridge; the Carillon and
the former Crèche building. The quality, finish and detailed design of the built components
of this landscape need to be respect the NWM Park. The wetland planting should define the
ecological setting of the site and the connection though to Waitangi Park planting in order
to make the association from the former Waitangi Lagoon to the sea.
Planting of the steeper terraces should also respect the NWM Park details.
The wetland terraces are to be rain gardens, designed to receive, filter and detain
stormwater from the bridge, paths and roads. Therefore integrated stormwater drainage
design will be required.
Maintenance of the wetlands, tree and terrace planting will be critical to ensuring ongoing
success of this space. These need to be designed therefore to ensure good functionality and
considering future maintenance and possible development of future wetland spaces down
Kent and Cambridge Terrace.

Basin Bridge Project
Wellington Northern Corridor RoNS
Structure soft (plant material) and hard (paving, street furniture) landscape
components to define gathering and circulation space in relation to existing median
circulation zones. This will be done through the reconfiguration of pedestrian
crossings, bus stops, and the Basin Reserve Gateway;
Provide landscape elements and built gateway components of the Basin Reserve that
enhance the physical and visual amenity of the undercroft of the bridge, its piers,
adjacent roading.
Integrate the bridge undercroft landscape with the landscape beyond the Basin
Reserve;
Provide appropriate visual mitigation between the Basin Reserve and the bridge by a
combination of additional planting, and/or screening, and/or new building structure.
Zone 2 Detailed design considerations
WCC has indicated the desire to develop the Kent and Cambridge Terrace boulevard to
improve urban design form and function. The design of this space is very much a part of
that boulevard while still respecting other connections such as Waitangi Park to the north
the NWM Park to the west, the Basin Reserve to the south, Government House to the south
and ultimately the open spaces of Wellington College, Wellington East Girls College and the
Town Belt to the east, . The design should:
Integrate the landsape with the Kent and Cambridge Terrace boulevard (aka Canal
Reserve);
Provide safe, visible and generous public and cycle space entry to the Basin Reserve;
Integrate and coordinate the materials used across Zone 2 and with the adjacent
landscapes Basin Bridge Zones including materials, lighting, furniture and detailing;
Join the landscape between the inside and outside the Basin Reserve;
Provide specific wind shelter at selected locations (e.g. at bus stops and traffic lights)
without introducing negative CPTED implications.
The new Basin Reserve Northern Gateway Building should:
Integrate with new as well as existing landscape and buildings, including the R.A.
Vance Stand, Players’ Pavilion (if kept), and the existing toilet block;
Ensure the design, management and occupation of spaces are in alignment with the
concept design configuration and form, including hierarchy of public interface and
service, degree and location of openings/ glazing, and expression as a gateway
pavilion to the Basin Reserve;
Support the landscape in providing safe, visible, and generous public space entry to
the Basin Reserve;
Ensure the Gate design into the Basin Reserve at the bottom of the building allows
the default setting to be open for public and cycle use, but can be shut through a

to the Square;
To provide a straight and perpendicular crossing of the Kent/ Cambridge corridor;
To optimise a clear and legible journey for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists along
the bridge route; and
To optimise clear and legible journey and physical connections for vehicles,
pedestrians and cyclists under the bridge.

To provide an elevated valley crossing in a manner that accentuates the reading of
existing topography;
To provide sufficient height to allow for the necessary head height for traffic
crossing under, but still be of the right height to visually within the Basin Reserve
fringe planting canopy, and the historical building scale of Kent/ Ellice corner; and
Be of a design language (form, material, character) that, while incorporating specific
local character responsive to local conditions that it traverses, also has recognisable
consistency across its length as a single element.
To achieve integration with its local context the bridge shall be considered and expressed as
5 different sub-components complementing a sequence of spaces and experiences,
including:
1. The Zone 1 landing - where abutments and bridge structure are integrated and
grounded in the form and material of the landscape terracing in this zone;
2. The Kent/ Cambridge crossing- where the bridge is a minimal and elegant ‘flying’
element crossing the Kent/ Cambridge corridor;
3. The Kent/ Ellice corner- where the bridge is integrated within the city block structure
along with new corner building and verandah to the footpath below;
4. The Hania/ Ellice/ Dufferin zone - where the bridge is an elevated curving transitional
element spanning between the corner of Kent Terrace and the Dufferin landing zone;
5. The Dufferin landing zone where abutments and structure are integrated and
grounded in the landscape;
6. The pedestrian and cycle clip-on provides access onto the bridge for these modes.
This addition allows the bridge to have a thin edge along the northern face thus
reducing its visual impact from the Kent Terrace and NWM Park approaches. Ensure
safe and functional access is provided for pedestrian & cyclists from Paterson Street
to connect with the NWM Park and into the city via Tory/ Taranaki Streets; and
7. The pedestrian and cycle clip on lands at Paterson Street on a solid retained
structure. The St Joseph’s Church side is planted with a climber to form a green wall.
The retaining wall extends up to provide the balustrade.
Zone 6 – Detailed design considerations
The design mechanisms to achieve integration, and contribute positive effects in terms of
visual amenity, quality of space (above and below bridge), and quality of experience (above
and below the bridge) includes:
Consistent design language in form, material and surface of constructed
components and adjacent constructed landscape/ building components.
Ground transition/ abutments to be designed in a manner that:
Read as extended (solid) landscape components capturing the flying end of the
bridge;

Piers to be designed in a manner that:
Are sculptured as dynamic forms perceived and experienced ‘in the round’ at
different proximities and velocities;
The alignment and form is specifically responsive to sightlines and lines of
movement through and around the piers;
Express a design relationship to the landscape elements and abutments; and
Considers potential to incorporate seating as an integrated component.
Superstructure designed in a manner that:
Provides for long spans (approx 38 - 40m) reducing the number of piers, creating a
visually open and uncluttered groundscape;
Provides for minimal structural depth- and the ability to reduce the edge thickness to
achieve a fine perimeter profile- reducing the perceived visual width and depth;
Provides for articulated expressed form and texture to the undercroft; and
Provides for differentiated articulated expressed form at the transitions (i.e. curves,
connections to buttresses/ piers between pedestrian/ cycle and main bridge)
Perimeter elements/ top surface components (balustrades/ barriers/ screens), while
providing for necessary safety functions, shall be designed in a manner that:
Are visually integrated with the formal design and modulation of the superstructure,
while designed as low (visual) mass to achieve a fine perimeter profile;
Design infrastructure elements such as downpipes, electrical conduits etc, to
integrate into the structure of the bridge;
Minimise the interruption of outlook from the pedestrian bridge/ perception of
activity and life on the bridge;
Minimise the visual separation of vehicles and pedestrians/ cycles; and
Promotes the perception of bridge as ‘elevated street’- rather than motorway flyover,
by accentuating human scale elements and continuity with Buckle Street.
Provide for safety and give a strong perception of safety for the vehicles, pedestrians
and cyclists that use the bridge.
