Located in the heart of Wigram Skies (the former air force base), The Landing is a modern and thoughtfully designed retail and mixed-use development for greater south-west Christchurch. Developed by Ngāi Tahu Property Limited and designed by The Buchan Group, the residential community is built around an architecturally designed central town square. With amenities including a supermarket, restaurants and cafés, this communal area creates a pedestrian-friendly, piazza-like environment where people can relax and mingle.
The Landing’s visual appearance was important. Monkeytoe was commissioned to design and install perforated screens around rooftop plant platforms. These provided a cost-effective solution to allow airflow while at the same time screening plant from view below.
