The bold use of colour and finishes tell the story of the region and connect the players with the site. The prominent location of the building between 3 local mountains – Maungakiekie (One Tree Hill), Maungawhau (Mt Eden) and Te Kōpuke (Mt Saint John), is brought into the interior, right down to the carpet design. Similarly, the location of the entry into the building faces Te Kōpuke – the traditional entry into Auckland. In the heart of the building lies the central hydration station; a bright orange magma colour radiates out through the floor from this focal point.
