Civic & Sacred Commission / Auckland
Temple Commission
Devotion rendered in enduring stone and light.
A monumental sacred building requires a rare convergence of centuries-old stonemasonry craft and state-of-the-art seismic structural engineering.
Commissioned as a spiritual landmark in Auckland, this project unites dimensional granite cladding, hand-carved stone reliefs, and polished marble interiors crowned by a soaring tiered spire. UHAUS managed the meticulous installation of multi-ton carved stone units onto a resilient reinforced concrete structure, creating an awe-inspiring sacred space engineered to endure for generations.
