A Thoughtful Vision for the Future of Shed 1

On the Outer-T of Queens Wharf, Shed 1 stands as part of Wellington’s working waterfront heritage.

Project Outer-T is a proposed sustainable redevelopment that aims to respectfully revitalise this existing structure — enhancing its public value while preserving its character and maritime identity.

This is a long-term vision shaped by:

  • Environmental responsibility

  • Architectural sensitivity

  • Community integration

  • Economic contribution

The Intention

The proposal explores transforming Shed 1 into a mixed-use destination that integrates:

  • A high-quality waterfront restaurant

  • A welcoming hospitality venue inspired by Irish heritage

  • Eco-conscious boutique accommodation

  • Rooftop food-growing systems

  • Integrated renewable energy technologies

The aim is not simply redevelopment — but responsible adaptation.

"A heritage-led, fiscally neutral revitalisation that strengthens the central social district and increases private investment in the waterfront."
