The Tainui River Centre is a cultural museum located on the banks of the Waikato river. The project is conceived of as four platonic containers that mirror the four primary iwi from the Tainui waka.

The containers cantilever over the edge of the Waikato River and create a soft edge to the river below with a gently terraced series of steps. Each container will house both historic and contemporary Tainui material culture with a clear circulation path through.
