A first look at the proposed Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland stadium design by our design alliance partners HKS. Buchan is proud to be working with HKS on this Auckland city-shaping project.
We are honoured to be supporting NZ Rugby and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei develop a vision for the Te Tōangaroa land at Quay Park in Auckland, including a new purpose-built rectangular pitch stadium to provide the All Blacks, the NZ Warriors, Auckland Blues and the new Auckland FC franchise with a world class home that celebrates the very best of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and Aotearoa New Zealand.
Led by Cenfield MXD Limited, the consortium has brought together heavy weights in the global and local sports industry to help turn this vision into a reality.
More than a ‘downtown stadium’ that activates the eastern approach to Auckland’s CBD, the proposed design captures the regeneration of an entire industrial neighbourhood precinct into a revitalised destination that provides genuine activation, economic and employment activity on non-event days.
With internationally renowned sports architects HKS leading the design, the proposal reflects a deep dialogue on placemaking and culture in collaboration with partners Buchan, TOA Architects, Boffa Miskell, Aurecon, Robert Bird & Partners, Barker & Associates and Turner & Townsend.
