Palmerston North Civic and Cultural Precinct

The civic and cultural precinct is one of Palmerston Norths most significant city centre transformational projects. Some of the city's most treasured buildings and institutions like the Central Library, Te Manawa Museum and Art Gallery have been identified as needing to be upgraded to meet the new earthquake standards. As the first step on the journey our work with McIndoe Urban and HMO Architects took the opportunity to take a deeper dive into how these buildings and the surrounding streets and spaces could function in the future.
