This new feature building was opened in April 2023. A distinctive and appealing space externally and internally, it will expand the scope of the arts curriculum and will generate great pride for the school community.
A light, modern foyer leads to the dedicated performance space where students are able to showcase their talent in a state-of-the art theatre. The building includes a large array of solar panels and a rainwater reuse system.
The 500-seat auditorium is an excellent venue for performances, larger lecture-style teaching and conferences. In addition, this building features eight functional, multi-purpose classrooms, an internal “street” for breakout spaces, an elevated place to view sports activities happening on the multisport surface below, as well as an attractive courtyard for students to lunch and socialise.
Completed in January 2020, the Pinehurst School Library comprises an impressive upstairs main library facility along with a meeting room and office spaces. The downstairs level includes a large dance studio with an adjacent kitchen. The building includes a rainwater reuse system.
Milne Project Management led the team of client representatives, consultants, and builder, to deliver this project. The Library connects two older existing buildings which presented design and construction challenges that were successfully overcome by the project team.

Milne Project Management is leading the team of client representatives, consultants, and ECI partner builder, to deliver this project that is designed to reduce reliance on emergency housing.
Milne Project Management has led the design and consenting stage of this best practice sustainably designed home. The home has been designed to achieve stringent passive house design criteria relating to heating and cooling demand, airtightness, and thermal comfort. High performance features include uPVC window joinery, careful consideration of shading, an airtightness layer, high performance slab insulation, future proofing for solar panels and rainwater reuse, and mechanical heat recovery ventilation.
This project has Resource Consent and Building Consent, and construction is scheduled to commence in January 2025.
The AGE School opened its new premises in Takapuna at the beginning of 2021.

Milne Project Management led this project from start to finish, including providing engineer to contract services.
The Children's Ark officially opened its new centre in November 2020 and now caters for babies through to preschoolers. The building includes three early-learning spaces as well as outdoor areas for each, children's toilets, a staff administration area, a new commercial kitchen and large foyer entrance which adjoins Long Bay Baptist Church.
This project brought challenges with the fact that the children continued to attend a temporary kindergarten set up in the Long Bay Baptist Church auditorium adjacent to the building site. This meant that the safety of the staff and children, and coordination with ongoing church activities had to be considered at every stage.
Bays Community Housing Trust provide quality, affordable housing for people who need it. BCHT aim to create micro-communities of tenants, helping to connect individual tenants with each other and empower these groups to become self-reliant and independent.

This is an important building for the school and local community, realised within demanding constraints that included a tight budget. The then Principal, Bruce Ritchie, wrote that "Close control of the budget and the construction to ensure no over-runs were achieved largely due to Alan’s ability to manage a diverse range of people and build them into an effective team whereby all participants were working towards a common goal."
