There is an inherent relationship between New Zealanders and the coast and has become part of our culture and identity. The coastal threshold is a place of emersion in time, surface and weathering process of materials and the marks and traces of time, this thesis explores architectural expression on Wellingtons coastline.  This project proposes the design of a series of six interventions along Wellington’s south coast. This research explores how architecture can respond to the temporality and extreme contextual conditions of the diverse landscapes. By developing an inherent architectural language of shelter that identifies and embodies the contextual and programmatic narrative, this thesis proposes for the occupation of site through a protective and experiential architecture.
