Project Overview
Panelab was commissioned to create four prominent entry features and an internal skylight for the newly opened Manawa Bay outlet mall near Auckland airport. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Sydney Opera House, the facade features rust-red Panelux cladding arranged in a striking brickwork pattern. This project stands as one of Panelab's most technically challenging installations, requiring exceptional precision to execute the complex angles, pitches, and competing structural elements. Through the expertise of their project managers and installation teams, Panelab navigated these intricate design challenges while maintaining project timelines and budget constraints. The successful partnership with Savory Construction resulted in a remarkable architectural achievement that brings the retail space to life through innovative cladding design and meticulous execution.
