Dresssmart is the corner retail building on The Base, Hamilton, New Zealand. Given that the Te Awa mall had raised the profile of the site substatially, the client wished to update the corner treament of the site, which was on a primary road intersection. The design consisted of multiple steel frames wrapped in coloured sail cloth, fixed at various angles, with a large LED screen at the 'prow' (the design philosophy of Te Awa was partly based on the waka, or war canoe, form).

I took over the project from Concept Design, and remodelled the entire design, and produced the construction documentation. 2011.
