"The upturned waka is another important part of the narrative," Mr Haines said. Hence, the outpatient building will mainly use colours and materials associated with the land, while the larger inpatients building will use the colours of the sea to reference it being built on largely reclaimed land. The hospital site straddles both the original foreshore and long-settled land, and the architects have planned buildings which go "from dry feet to wet feet" as they march along the site. "There has been a close connection and we have been working with Aukaha, which has developed for us a story of the site and the land, and we have worked with them to incorporate that into the project." "The co-design process we have gone through has been very rich and very deep, and it has been very much since day one," he said. Its colours also helped determine the palate used for both the interiors and exteriors of the five-storey outpatient building, principal architect Darryl Haines, from Warren and Mahoney, said. Its main use was as lashing or rope, and that use for joining and splicing have become important design elements in the complex. The Ngāi Tahu who called Ōtepoti home used the plant, which grew abundantly in the area, for a range of purposes, including medicinal.
