By Ignite Architects
In addition to designing Air New Zealand’s new head quarters in Auckland, Ignite Architects also carried out master planning and design for the entire 90,000 sq m, six-storey precinct of which the new building is the cornerstone.
To meet the special demands of this key gateway to Auckland City, Ignite championed an internal ‘street’ and public piazza concept: a shared public space that will unify subsequent, individually-designed buildings within the overall design.Pedestrian access routes from the Beaumont Quarter to the Viaduct Basin are protected and the carefully articulated interactions of buildings and quality public space contribute to the urban fabric of the entire area.
We believe good design enriches the human experience and positively contributes to our collective future.
Placemaking is at the heart of our practice. Our designs forge community connections, tell cultural stories, and are boldly resilient. We create spaces to be enjoyed across generations - and for generations to come.
With cross-sector expertise and empathy for all stakeholders, we design solutions that are high-performing and commercially viable.
