The whare is a spiritual place that people can be one with the earth that is why you take you shoes off so your feet can be with the earth and you take your hat off so your head can be with the sky. The shape of the whare is the shape of a maori chief this is the shape.
At the front of the whare there are 3 carvings of people the one on the top is from takitimu waka Ngati ranginui. The bottom one is from matatua Ngai te rangi and the middle one is ngati pukenga. They are all holding a rope that has all 10 house colours.
