Auckland Racing Stables

Auckland Racing Club Stables At Ellerslie Racecourse in Auckland, the Auckland Racing Club Stables brings together equine architecture, racing heritage and contemporary hospitality design. The restored totalisator façade forms the centrepiece of the complex, its paired clocks and numbered displays preserving a distinctive connection to the racecourse’s past. The stable buildings combine warm timber partitions with exposed dark steel framing beneath long pitched roofs. Repeated bays give the interiors a clear rhythm, while covered walkways connect the stalls with the surrounding outdoor spaces. White railings and the pale historic façade contrast with the darker roofs and structure, giving the complex a cohesive architectural identity. Within the hospitality spaces, exposed timber roof framing and white-painted masonry provide the setting for a more contemporary interior. Dark bar joinery, veined surfaces and fine metallic trims introduce depth and texture, complemented by illuminated shelving and sculptural pendant lighting.
