Currently without a location to exist in following the Canterbury earthquakes in 2010, Te Ūaka (The Lyttelton Museum) – a historical museum dedicated to preserving the stories of Whakaraupō (Lyttelton Harbour) – has undergone fundraising efforts to construct a new site. Cementing their new name as part of their rebuilding, the museum reached out to Christchurch-based design studio McCarthy to bring a fresh identity to the forefront of the project.
