The project
Studio Pacific Architecture provided masterplanning, architecture and lead consultancy for Hangar 4 at Air New Zealand's maintenance base in Auckland. The 15,000 square metre complex includes a 10,000 square metre hangar for one widebody and two narrowbody aircraft, with 5,000 square metres of workshops and engineering spaces.
Its timber frame spans nearly 100 metres, making it the largest single-span timber aircraft hangar in the Southern Hemisphere. It joins existing hangars and live airside operations and sets a new standard for sustainable aviation buildings. It was completed in 2025.
