Hamilton Gardens Visitor Centre
Hamilton Gardens New Visitor Centre | Hamilton
The refurbishment of the Hamilton Gardens Visitor Centre has transformed the arrival and departure experience for guests visiting this iconic Hamilton destination. The space now reflects the cultural richness and design excellence found within the grounds themselves.
BCD Group was proud to contribute to this landmark project, delivering structural, civil, geotechnical, and fire engineering services that helped bring the architectural vision to life.
The main structural feature is an 8-metre-tall composite timber and steel flitch post fence surrounding the Fern Court. This striking element is inspired by the palisade fencing of the Te Parapara Garden and traditional Māori garden tools, seamlessly connecting cultural heritage with modern design.
To support this vision, our civil and geotechnical teams worked meticulously to ensure the foundations integrated smoothly with both existing and proposed infrastructure. Navigating underground complexities was key to enabling the bold structural elements above.
BCD Group provided Geotechnical, Civil, Structural, and Fire Engineering services for this Project.
