North Harbour Stadium (now known as QBE Stadium) is home to New Zealand's sporting codes of football and rugby.
GHDWoodhead Creative Spaces acted as the principal consultant, responsible for the master-planning, project direction, design, documentation and fit-out of the stadium. The development consists of a 24-hectare domain, which surrounds a multi-purpose winter code stadium as the central feature.
Our team of planners, designers and project managers worked with the client to create an international, state-of-the-art stadium, with a spectator capacity of 25,000. A concourse above terrace level provides unobstructed circulation with views of the playing field.
Facilities in the stand include conference and convention facilities; two major function rooms seating 1400 and 800 respectively; mobile sound-rated walls providing the capacity to break out into six smaller rooms; major kitchen facilities with the capacity to serve full banquet dining; 28 corporate lounges and offices for various sporting bodies.
The unique roof projects 38 metres and spans 180 metres, providing cover for 10,000 spectators.
The stadium design fulfilled the client's brief to create a functional and attractive centrepiece to the community entertainment precinct.
