Mission Bay Pavilion: A Modern, Color-Packed Addition to Auckland’s City Beach

April 10, 2018

Overlooking the city beach in Auckland, New Zealand, the historic Melanesian Mission building once served as the dining hall, kitchen, and storehouse for an Anglican boys college. Today, with the help of Herbst Architects and Katie Lockhart Studio, the building’s footprint has been extended to include a modern restaurant and outdoor dining courtyard. The original stone building, constructed in 1859 from basalt from nearby Rangitoto Island, now has a modern addition featuring cedar slats, blackened steel, gabion walls, creative color, and more. It’s called Mission Bay Pavilion; here’s a look at the design.
