Paradice Skating Arena
A lively environment has been created at the $5.5 million Paradice Skating Arena in Botany Downs, Auckland, where innovative architecture and colour enhances an ice theme.
Paradice Skating Arena was designed as a family entertainment facility containing a full Olympic size skating and ice hockey rink as the focal point.
The main foyer relates directly to the building's powerful entry facade with its oversized hockey mask and perforated metal swirls emulating the ice marks of a skater. Colour and shape provide interest to cost-effective finishes and materials – a necessity for a public facility that has to withstand some harsh treatment. The exterior system was a combination of Resene X-200 weathertight membrane and Resene Sandtex, while Resene Enamacryl and Resene Lustacryl waterbased enamels were used on interior surfaces for their hardwearing properties.
