Maungawhau/Mount Eden Station design

Basalt, red glass triangles and the god of volcanic activity are just three of the many fascinating design elements that will feature in the future Maungawhau/Mount Eden Station.

In this video, Mana Whenua artist Tessa Harris (who also designed our woven whāriki pattern in the pavers of Te Komititanga, Britomart) and station architect Gillian Hatch, explain the complex process and inspiration behind the station design.

This includes incorporating cultural narratives and the geological context of the station area with the technical and functional needs of a train station.
