For the buildings facing the marae atea, consider cladding with gabion walls containing volcanic rock - see this link for a good reference on this: http://www.enviromeshgabions.com/sites/enviromeshgabions.com/files/ENVIROMESH_GUIDE_TO_FS_WALLS_AND%20CLADDING.pdf
This reference also provides some nice detail drawings.
See also this for a NZ supplier: http://www.maccaferri.co.nz/afawcs0140261/ID=67/SID=465517339/productdetails.html
For these walls, the gabion would be used as a rain screen, giving a sense of solidity and thickness, grounded, and also linked somehow with the marae atea space.
Could also be used as a trome wall internally - see previous research on this example: http://design5aw.blogspot.co.nz/2012/04/other-gabion-houses.html
