Case Study: Christchurch DHB Park & Ride Car Park — Deans Avenue

Design & Document in collaboration with Fulton Hogan Canterbury & Stantec, a layout for a new public car park serving Christchurch Hospital on Deans Avenue. Resource consent had already been secured — the scope was full design and drafting as well as comprehensive vehicle swept path analysis developing construction ready drawings for survey set-out with a dedicated survey team.

• Complete car park layout design including Park and ride shuttle loading and holding bay design, standard bays, handicap parking, resident parking, vehicle crossings & vehicle swept path analysis

• Temporary solar lighting layout

• 3D renders for design validation and stakeholder review

The design went straight from our drawings to physical set-out on site with re-design suited to customer briefing.

Post-completion video coverage on Stuff.co.nz captured real users navigating the finished car park — with driver satisfaction around ease of entry, circulation, and exit directly reflecting the design decisions made at the drafting stage.

Six years on, the car park holds a 4.6 star Google rating — a result that traces back to getting the layout right before a single peg was driven.

This was our first project as a business.
