Projects - AJ Hackett - Kawarau Bungy Dome

NZIA described this project best as "A bold and intellectual concept integrating the rugged cliff-face site and its environs with the idea and adrenalin-filled character of the building's function.

The building is a clear expression and promotion of the culture of bungy, yet belies this with a more subtle and far-reaching agenda of siting and structure.

A sophisticated site-as-building strategy and a circulation event that echoes the dynamic nature of the adventure experience beyond are highly successful."

The building was constructed in 12 months and was buried into the existing hillside to ensure minimal environmental and scenic impact in this remote location.
