Auckland Council partnered with New Zealand Retail Property Group (NZRPG) to create a civic heart for the new Westgate Town Centre. A design team, led by Warren & Mahoney Architects and Boffa Miskell, was commissioned to design the new library and town square.
The town square is the heart of the town centre, creating a unique identity and sense of place, and catering for a wide range of activities and users.
The concept of Shared Space, introduced into the Auckland city centre by Auckland Council and Boffa Miskell, has been applied to deliver a ‘people first’ design to serve as a focal point for the surrounding retail development.
