mall makeover

Sitting at the intersection of five roads, Royal Oak Mall on Manukau Road, Auckland services a wide array of shoppers from the nearby suburbs. After many years of wear and tear, the mall has undergone a major reburbishment from tip to toe inside and out. Dated flooring has been replaced with fresh new tiling combined with a complementary paint colour palette to modernise the look and feel of the mall, while still in keeping with its environment.

Resene Sonyx 101 imparts an easy clean semi-gloss finish in hues of Resene Arrowtown (rich mellow neutral) on the concrete exterior of the main building and Resene Double Arrowtown (earthy neutral) on the columns as a subtle accent. The backbone of the interior palette is lightened to Resene Zylone Sheen tinted to Resene Quarter Thorndon Cream (warm off white), a soft backdrop to the branding and imagery of the over 60 retail tenants. This soothing neutral is joined by Resene Aluminium (metallic) on barrel vaults and Resene Masala (murky grey brown) on columns and dado line.

Now work is completed, shoppers can enjoy the best of both worlds – a new modernised shopping experience and their favourite shops.
