KCDC Field of Remembrance

Project Description

To commemorate the sacrifice of New Zealanders, Fields of Remembrance have been established throughout New Zealand. The one hundred crosses in this field represent New Zealanders from the Kāpiti Coast region who served and made the ultimate sacrifice in WWI.

They are a silent reminder of New Zealand’s major contribution to freedom and the considerable sacrifice of what was then a very small nation.

The Objective:

Design a large double sided sign that honours the local New Zealanders who fell. The sign is to be part of a three year installation in a dedicated garden near the Coastlands Aquatic Centre.

The Solution:

A simple powerful sign display that aligns itself with the look and feel of the WW100 New Zealand symbol. The combination of colours were designed to bring a softness with a hint of vibrancy. The playful display of poppies lining the base are a symbolic reminder of honour and hope.
