Ramaroa Centre integrates local Māori heritage and WWII US Marine architectural influences, featuring a unique gullwing roof and crafted in JSC Iroko and Western Red Cedar, designed by Gilplans Architecture and Ryder Builders.

Ramaroa Centre draws on the local Māori heritage and WWII US Marine buildings for its design. Gilplans Architecture and Ryder Builders link two separate gable buildings with a gullwing roof, tiles, walls and decks, all of which are crafted in JSC Iroko and Western Red Cedar, and influenced by the traditional Māori wharenui and tent structures from the US Marine camps.

Ramaroa’s icon panels and Kōwhaiwhai were designed by artist Hermann Salzmann. Posts supporting the gullwing roof are adorned with a contemporary design by local carver Nathan Te Rei.
