Significant cultural and heritage elements form the basis for the work at Wigram Skies, a project Kamo Marsh Landscape Architects have been involved in from the initial planning stages. Numerous features throughout the subdivision reflect the history of the Ngai Tahu tribe, while the recurrent aeronautical theme remembers the Wigram Aerodrome which used to grace the site. Extensive native plantings with a strong Mahinga kai influence have been used throughout the development along with several exotic specimen tree species to provide seasonal colour.
