"A WATERFRONT GEM"
UPSCALE HOTEL FOR BUSINESS AND LEISURE
Perched on top of one of the premium locations in Auckland with its breathtaking views this Restaurant and Bar demanded a refurbishment for suit the new incoming Mövenpick Hotel brand bringing along with it BODA.
BODA caters to an Asian cuisine influenced with a New Zealand flavour.
To capture this beautiful location on the waterfront and essence of the brand - "providing flexibility and independence for demanding travelers looking for a place to call home either for a weekend or for a longer stay" the design lent itself to make this a destination for social interactions overlayed with luxury.

Mandala Design is an integrated Interior Design practice combining all facets of Design to create beautiful spaces people love in Hotel & Resorts, Commercial, High end residential and Retail sectors.
The origin of the word “Mandala” comes from ancient Sanskrit scriptures which means “circle”. Mandalas generally have one identifiable centre point, from which radiates an array of symbols, shapes and forms, that can be both geometric and organic.
Mandala Design has sprouted from similar roots and adopts a concentric pool of ideas, inspirations, desires, values and vision for its clients to transform an individual environment to a space that customers are enthralled with their experience.
The derivative here is that different segments of Interiors - Design, Collaboration, Procurement, Supply & Delivery, Project Management all integrate and revolve around a core like a Mandala to complete the vision. Each Mandala is unique and at our design practice we strive to create that unique Mandala / space for our clients.
