About Scion - Te Whare Nui o Tuteata
'Te Whare Nui o Tuteata’ meaning the great house of Tuteata is the name gifted to our building. Tuteata is the ancestor of the three hapū who are the tangata whenua here: Ngāti Hurungaterangi, Ngāti Taeotu and Ngāti Te Kahu. The name acknowledges Tuteata and the connection to the land, Te Mingi. Scion and the hapū are building a strong partnership together. Discover more about our award-winning design.
