The Great Circa Rebuild
We have now completed THE GREAT CIRCA REBUILD which included a complete re-design of the harbour-facing frontage, a brand new cafe, brasserie & restaurant ‘Chouchou’, an entire repaint of the building, roof repairs, and the full restoration of our historic Eastern façade.
The new architecturally designed north facing façade is now a prominent and sophisticated added feature on the Wellington waterfront, adding to cities world-class food and tourism offer. This stunning design by Sebastian Bernhardt of Inside Design, includes a ‘Velarium’, a kinetic art installation, by internationally renowned designer Kayne Horsham of Kaynemaile. Their light-weight Bio-based architectural fabric, inspired by the chainmail armor in The Lord of the Rings, is hard-wearing. It is designed so the wiri of the Velarium reflects the movement of the water facing our picturesque harbour-side location.
THE GREAT CIRCA REBUILD will sustain Wellington’s iconic theatre for generations to come.
Circa Theatre is the heart of Wellington’s thriving arts community and a leader of New Zealand theatre. Circa is artist-focused, and most of our income goes directly to creative artists rather than bricks and mortar.
