Cobb & Co Tauranga was the first of eight new generation Cobb & Co Restaurants designed by F+D=A. It represents the culmination of efforts from a team, Architects, Marketing experts and operations staff, and is the flagship for the new generation of the iconic New Zealand Cobb & Co restaurants. Implanted into the psyche of many New Zealanders, the new Cobb & Co environment has been brought up to date while still paying homage to that which made the Cobbs of the past great.
A friendly welcoming, and quirkily yet firmly contemporary environment, the architecture is intended to fuse new with old and is designed to put Cobb & Co firmly back on top of the stack of NZ family restaurants…. Where it belongs.
The first site was the historic Category 2 Listed 1918 Hotel St Amand, that suitably, had been around since the original Cobb & Co Coaches were commonplace in Tauranga. Since then, F+D=A have worked on a further 8, uniquely varied existing sites, each with their own personalities requiring varied and sympathetic application of the brand. Cobb & Co Dunedin, installed into the Category 1 Listed Dunedin Railway Station, arguably, the city’s most prominent architectural landmarks, won a ‘Gold Award’ and then the ‘National Category Winner’ in the 2018 New Zealand Commercial Project Awards
