Be Inspired in Auckland: DMN’s 10th International Study Tour – Just 20 Spots
Dear DMN Community,
I'm delighted to invite you to join our 10th International Study Tour, happening from Monday 10–Sunday 16 November 2025 in Auckland, New Zealand.
This is your chance to recharge your passion for design—and stir up some creative magic.
Expect a week filled with much-needed inspiration and the perfect setting to forge meaningful connections with fellow members of the DMN community and the vibrant New Zealand design network.
Tour highlights:
- A six-night architectural journey through Auckland (Tāmaki Makaurau)—the “City of Sails”—where volcanoes meet the sea in dramatic style
- Exclusive access to award-winning private homes and commercial buildings—spaces usually closed to the public, and bespoke half-day tours led by DMN sponsors James Hardie and AWS
- Visits to awe-inspiring landscapes including Long Bay, Piha, Waiheke Island, and Titirangi Beach—each offering its own slice of inspiration, and adrenalin-fuelled ziplining!
- A deeply moving Māori cultural experience with an up-close performance of the Haka at a Marae, one of Auckland’s sacred meeting places
- The chance to mingle with New Zealand’s top architects and designers—world-class ideas, food, wine, and cultural immersion all in one.
This exclusive delegation of just 20 people will explore, share, and return bursting with fresh inspiration, new energy, and unforgettable memories.
