Tōtara Haumaru (The Sheltering Tōtara) is Aotearoa New Zealand’s most advanced hospital facility and the largest development at North Shore Hospital in over 50 years. This four-storey building is designed with a strong focus on patient and whānau-centred care, supporting modern healthcare models while enhancing the overall experience for patients and visitors.
The hospital, completed in just three-and-a-half years, seamlessly connects to the existing 40-bed Elective Surgery Centre. It features cutting-edge equipment, technology, and an expansion that includes eight new operating theatres, four endoscopy procedure rooms, and five 30-bed inpatient wards—providing a total of 150 additional inpatient beds.
As part of the interior design team, I played a leading role in the joinery package, delivering bespoke, custom-designed joinery solutions tailored to the facility’s unique needs and built-in equipment. Our designs ensure seamless functionality, creating spaces that support healthcare professionals while prioritizing patient comfort and care.
