Default NZ Glider Hangar Question

Some of you have seen or read about the unique and clever hangar design at Omarama in NZ. On a visit more than a few years ago I examined them. And later I think I saw an article and/or pictures but can’t remember where. As a long retired Structural engineer, I promised to help a prominent eastern club to suggest future hangar designs for a forthcoming possible expansion. Can anyone suggest who I should contact or where I should look to get more info on the NZ hangars?

I and the Club thank you!

At least the latest one was built by Nigel Davy from Shotover Engineering.
They are the best I have seen Worldwide.
