✓ Ensure the lifts are through lifts to carry bicycles ✓ Incorporate bicycle push ramps into the pedestrian stairways ✓ Minimise the loss of privacy on adjacent residential sites
Current Scheme: ✓ Lifts are fully accessible and accommodate a variety of mobility modes including bicycles ✓ Stairs incorporate cycle ramps ✓ Glazed Lifts incorporate privacy screening to Station R apartments ✓ Specially designed safety barriers are 1.8 m high throughout ✓ Privacy screening uses opaque glass where required ✓ Clear sight lines along the length of the bridge is maintained using translucent glass

Fenton Street Bridge Narrative Like the Porters Bridge design, the significance of Mataaoho to Maungawhau draws an interesting conceptual opportunity for the design of the Fenton Street bridge. The Fenton Street bridge design parameters are so that its functional A and B points create an organic curve form connecting Ngahura and Fenton Streets. Conceptually, the fluid nature of the bridge’s elements as it curves, twists and pulls, reveals an opportunity to be likened to the flow of Mataaoho’s volcanic liquid state. Wedged in between an existing juxtaposition of residential and industrial buildings, the bridge is anchored from the ground as if the only way it could appear in place was if it erupted out of the soil itself. This narrative serves an overarching link to the Porters Ave Bridge that looks at the change of state of the lava flow of Mataaoho to form Karā (basalt), a finegrained, dark charcoal-black stone that occurs when hot lava flow meets the earth’s surface or a mid-ocean ridge and is cooled. The deity of Mataaoho becomes the protagonist of the Maungawhau precinct. The new Maungawhau station at the centre, is the living source flowing out and connecting the dynamic fluid structure Fenton Street Bridge and on to Porters Ave Bridge. The Fenton bridge piers are anchors, raising the bridge deck to hold air space above the railway lines. The metaphorical flow of Mataaoho occurs in the physical as the bridge creates a dual spatial and physical threshold that sees the constant ebb and flow under of unsuspecting commuters on the train. 1

We would like to work with an artist to help further deepen this narrative and tell the story of Mataaoho for the wider context of Maungawhau and then help us in our conceptualising the liquid state of Mataaoho in the Fenton Street bridge design. At present the final materiality of the lift shaft is glass and steel, with concrete piers. We’d be open to discussions with the artist about the colour palettes and materiality to reflect the narrative and the artistic expression of this.
Bridge balustrades and main span: colour and type of materiality in the mesh that ties into the wider narrative and expression of materiality. Surrounding landscape: the urban realm needs to link back and connect to Maungawhau, there’s opportunities to do this through furniture selection, wayfinding, and pavement selection.
