This pathway delivers a sophisticated waterfront experience, making the most of the striking setting.
This pathway delivers a sophisticated waterfront experience, making the most of the striking setting.
The promenade is much more than a commuter route as place-making and story-telling opportunities have been generously applied, turning the pathway into a destination that is unique to Tamaki Makaurau, Aotearoa. Generous proportions make the promenade comfortable and easy to use by walkers, runners, cyclists, model boat enthusiasts and other leisure seekers. The playful alignment, restrained composition of elements, use of colour and surprise interventions make this a joy to experience. Overall, this work brings the City of Sails coastal landscape to the water’s edge with generous new native coastal plantings complementing the existing mature pohutukawa trees.
