Te Tumu resolves the complex demands of a large convention centre with clarity, generosity, and technical skill. A vertically stacked layout places the main theatre above large exhibition spaces, while a multi-level atrium brings daylight and creates strong visual connections throughout the building. Flexible meeting and event spaces allow multiple activities to happen simultaneously while maintaining a clear and coherent experience for visitors. Materials have been carefully chosen for durability and performance while also supporting a strong Aotearoa identity through integrated artworks and detailing. Welcoming and highly functional, the project delivers a memorable public interior that works effectively at a very large scale.
