This commercial Vaka roof was manufactured in New Zealand and installed in the Cook Islands, showcases the fusion of innovation and tradition. The 180 sqm roof features a double convex form—paying homage to a traditional vaka while  introducing a bold, modern aesthetic. We went with a traditional method of lashing the roof on as it needed to be easily  removed in cyclones. Precision was critical, with all fabrication completed prior to shipping due to the remote location. The roof’s complex form was achieved using high frequency welding techniques to ensure both durability and visual continuity.
