    Abstract
    This project investigates how architecture responds to New Zealand’s most pressing issue: homelessness. This project targets the underlying issues that those that are homeless are dealing with on a daily basis. It also aims to find solutions through design, not just by accommodating the Tongan community, but by enriching person’s well-being through the theory of the vā and practising the Kahoa Model. This project aims to seek and to understand what the Tongan community needs to rebuild and empower a person’s wellbeing. It also aims to reinstall hope by giving the homeless the tools to live a stable life in New Zealand. As a result, this will hopefully give the homeless a sense of dignity, a sense of belonging and a chance to regain stability in life and lessen the numbers of people that are homeless or in a state of homelessness.
