McDonalds, having re-opened its New Lynn premises, is supporting New Lynn’s revitalisation. The new restaurant is adjacent to Memorial Square and the New Lynn Library site. It includes a drive thru, an internal play land, and a McCafe with al fresco dining and seating areas.

In keeping with Waitakere City’s vision to incorporate art into the design and function of its buildings, ASC Architects worked with local artist Kate Wells to commission works of art to integrate into the project. As a result, a glass mosaic wall designed by Gabrielle Hofmann has been incorporated into the design of the exterior glass. Glazed screens incorporating local imagery have been installed facing Memorial Square.

This theme has been continued throughout the interior of the restaurant in harmony with the décor. Local artist Heathermeg has supplied the interior artwork.
