408 Anglesea Street

This example of urban renewal on a budget shows how the reinvention of a once-tired building can breathe new life into a city’s urban fabric. From the street, the building’s vertical rhythm is enhanced by the dark-metal screen applied to the façade. The material theme continues into the interior, with new entranceways and lobbies benefiting from refined selections, monochromatic colour choices and a considered approach to lighting design. More dramatic design moves, such as the staircase of folded metal, are flourishes that serve to heighten the sense of overall quality.

About the
Professional

From urban spaces and workplaces, to private homes and holiday retreats, we believe good design should create an enriching experience that inspires individual and social well-being.

From our studios in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty we offer a comprehensive architectural service, extending from the macro level of master planning to the tactile experience of intimate interior spaces.

Each of our projects is an opportunity to bring together, people, capability and resource, in order to produce the highest outcome. Our design-led and pragmatic approach develops design responses that are thoughtful and beautiful yet grounded in a deep understanding of craftsmanship and technology.

Since Edwards White began in 2005 we have been designing with a deep respect of the environmental context. We believe that early integration of sustainability into conceptual thinking, leads to rich design outcomes that positively shape our environment and our culture. We’re also taking additional steps to improve the way our decisions and operations support a low carbon future, and are committed to the education and implementation of these practices.
