• The Cloud is a unique, modern structure that has quickly become a landmark
along Auckland’s waterfront.
• It was erected as a temporary structure to accommodate an inner-city fan
zone during Rugby World Cup 2011, and has since won a place in the hearts
of Aucklanders and visitors alike.
• At almost 180m long, the pillar-less exhibition floor can accommodate 120
3x3m booths, 900 people for a seated dinner, 4500 guests for cocktails and
works exceptionally well for large scale events.
• The Mezzanine room at the northern end of The Cloud is a beautiful room
for 200 guests for a meal with unparalleled view of the sea. It is the perfect
location for cocktail parties, meetings, receptions, dinners and weddings.

Located on Queens Wharf in downtown
Auckland, the $9.8m Cloud structure is unusual
for New Zealand
• At 178.5m long, this curvaceously-shaped ‘tent’ is sculpted in white PVC (roof), glass
(walls) and ‘super’ clear ETFE (walls and roof) and underpinned by a geometric steel
structure. Combining art and architecture, the form creates an exciting visual movement
along Queens Wharf, an area primarily dedicated to receiving cruise ships and tourists.
• The design works within its elongated harbourside location and has already generated a
persona of its own
