Features of the space
The space has raised planter beds and a grass area for people to meet and relax. The
urban canopy provides shelter from sun and rain. A raised hardwood floor completes the look, with a ramp at one end and steps at both.
An accessible pathway connects the space with Ponsonby Road and O'Neill Street.
How the design supports sustainability
The design of the space supports our goal of reducing Auckland’s carbon emissions by 50 per cent by 2030.
We have:
- installed a refurbished toilet block removed from Bledisloe Place when City Rail Link construction began
- repurposed parts of the original buildings like the steel frames, concrete floors and walls
- kept existing and planted new trees to expand the
urban forest and restore biodiversity in the area
- planted gardens to increase
permeable areas and reduce stormwater runoff
- used low energy LED lighting throughout the site
- installed solar panels on the canopy roof to generate electricity.
