Hundertwasser was requested by the Mayor of Wellington, James Belich, to design a symbolic national monument on the waterfront of Wellington. The building should be five stories high and consist of a Maori pillow consisting of a Maori Pa in spiral form and a sloping European pillow with a lawn-garden reaching down to the floor level. Both pillows combined with a grass- and garden bridge planted with native wind resistant trees. The building should house documentation of N.Z. history, conference halls, a cinema, library, offices and restaurants, furthermore a Maori museum and a Settler museum. 
Hundertwasser wrote: "The green garden ramp, union bridge and garden spiral will be open to the public at all times day and night like any public ground though it consists of a roof. (...) This monument will give pride and unity to the nation and lift New Zealand up to a nation with a high culture and a high standard of humanity giving the world an example of how to act as a bicultured society and to act in harmony with the laws of nature and human creativity. "(excerpt Hundertwasser in a letter, n. d., from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 1240)

Hundertwasser's proposals for the project did not come into consideration, because he refused to enter an architecture competition. Beyond that he considered himself to be exposed to intense animosity on the part of architects. The project model was kept in the mayor's office and got lost there.
