Our animation for Zaha Hadid Architects gives an insight into the competition entry for this unique project, which both embodies Polynesian culture through the choice of local materials and craftsmanship, and respects the cultural significance of the site and the power of the archipelago’s nature.

 

As our projects usually focus on many technical aspects, it was a pleasure for the team to bring all the exotic colorful flora and fauna of this magical place to life.

 

The design incorporates two theatres, a performance hall, two conference rooms and an exhibition hall.
