Title:: Nga Hau Mangere Birthing Centre
Architect:: First Principles Architects & Interiors
Category:: Community/; Health and Wellness

Nga Hau Mangere Birthing Centre is an example of an essential public service that had the local community front and centre from its conception right through to completion. The complex consists of 20 self-contained birthing suites, each with a bathroom in an area large enough to cater to the whole whanau. A reception foyer greets new entrants and exists in close proximity to the midwife's offices and central amenities.

Nga Hau Mangere Birthing Centre, located in the current Mangere Town Centre, is proof that the integration of tradition and an acknowledgement of ancestry can benefit modern solutions. By understanding the needs and motivations of the community, you can create something that will continue to invoke togetherness, connection and culture.
