There is a stark disconnect between New Zealand’s housing stock
and its ever-diversifying population. While family units of all ethnic
backgrounds are showing a shift towards a more extended-family
lifestyle, the outdated model of a 3-bedroom bungalow intended
for a nuclear family unit remains as the majority of housing options
available. Pacific Islanders being the fastest growing ethnic group in
Auckland are the most adversely affected by this. Fundamental spatial
issues mean that many homes can’t cope with the pressures of an
extended family unit and with the current housing market in Auckland
it means the only attainable options for many families are small, cold
and damp, introducing additional issues like crowding. With a culture
that so highly values family and community, a housing typology that
instead promotes individualism severely inhibits the ability of Pacific
people to practice and maintain their cultural identity.
Through the design of a housing development in Favona, South
Auckland, this thesis sets out to answer the question: how can
Cook Island concepts of extended family living be translated to a
contemporary Auckland context? By employing Cook Island values
as design principles, the project aims to enhance Pacific family life
at various scales. The thesis acknowledges that Pacific families are
fluid and considers how design can be used to adapt to these changes
whether they be within the period of days or years. The project uses
techniques influenced by contemporary Cook Island architecture as
well as the authors’ own creative process to cater to large and often
fluctuating family units and support cultural practices. The thesis
acknowledges the aspirations of the Pacific diaspora and seeks to find
design strategies that are relevant to families now and in the future. |
