Hidden in the Waikowhai Bay is a detached walkway, which during high tide parts of the walk disappear. The aim was to create micro islands of sea grass, and integrate a floating walkway. Using a basic understanding of how sea grass grew, and how the area was used by locals, the micro islands helped build upon the story of the place, regenerating rather than obscuring.

As part of being in the Manukau harbour, a lens through Te Ao (Maori world view) was carefully considered bringing in experts of Tikanga.
