Orange Hall Auckland After 03
Orange Coronation Hall, Auckland
Project info
Orange Hall, located in Newton, Auckland, was designed by Arthur Sinclair O’Connor and constructed in 1922. The building is associated with Orangeism, a Protestant organisation whose origins in Auckland date back to 1840. During the 1930s-1950s the Orange Coronation Hall became renowned as a ballroom dancing venue, a sprung tawa dance floor contributing to this reputation.

DPA Architects were appointed as Heritage Architects in the refurbishment of the building, which formed the centrepiece of a larger mixed-use development.

The project was the recipient of a Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects Auckland Architecture Award for Heritage in 2016.
