The menu and bar would consist of only New Zealand produce.We set about creating an expression of antipodean wonder. Nestled in a sunken recess at the hotel entrance, and surrounded in a new lush native forest landscape, we created a base to the interior in deep forest green and timber tones. Detail and form is classical, providing a colonial reference while the materials and so textures are distinctly local.Key local features include the long Swamp Kauri bar with a natural edge and a local basalt running across walls and floors with a varied texture. Pounamu toned counters and table tops, basalt landscaping walls, New Zealand leathers and handmade ceramics all contribute to the local material palette. Literal and kitsch elements lighten the atmosphere such as the 'land of the long white cloud' sky mural and the entrance signage that releases a puff of steam periodically as a literal expression of how alive our land here in Aotearoa actually is.
