Nestled alongside our nursery and garden, this spacious living building offers an immersive experience that brings you closer to the wonders of nature. Step inside and let the tranquil surroundings captivate your senses, creating the perfect ambience for learning, collaboration, and inspiration.

Our community-driven approach, rooted in a regenerative, whole-system philosophy, ensures that every visit to our EcoHub is an enriching experience. Whether you're an educator seeking a unique venue for workshops, a group looking for a serene space to gather and exchange ideas, or a business looking for team off-sites, strategy sessions and corporate workshops, our EcoHub is the ideal destination.

Our EcoHub building, designed by Athfield Architects, was recognised in the Tāmaki Makaurau Architecture Awards as the winner in the Public Architecture category. The building is praised for incorporating “five of the seven Living Building Challenge Petals” in its design. Read more here.

"A big ngā mihi nui to you for hosting us. The EcoHub was the perfect venue for our climate kaupapa and our Steering Group commented on how much it enabled a really generative, connected conversation to be in the hub with the doors open, the garden and bush outside, the sound of cicadas, birds and the awa etc, plus with the knowledge (and information) about what you're doing there.  We also spent some time in the reserve doing some earth reconnection work, which the group also found rejuvenating. We hope to be able to book the space again for another session." - Lydia Hascott, Co- Aotearoa
