Atlas Concrete HQ

An eye-catching addition to Wairau Road, the newly completed Atlas Concrete headquarters is a contemporary three-storey building that integrates office space, a sales area, a warehouse, a green roof podium and a dedicated space for logistics and operations. Envisioned by Atlas’s CEO Graham Collie, designed by Jonathan Walker Architects and built by CMP Construction, the result is a visually striking structure with curves and creative forms, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with concrete, without compromise. “Our design vision is rooted in celebrating the sculptural nature of concrete while pushing the boundaries of what is possible in concrete construction,” says Jonathon Walker Architects (JWA Architects). “The architectural expression draws inspiration from the concrete-making process itself, particularly the swirling, dynamic motion of mixing. Enveloping the fully-glazed office spaces, a veil of concrete fins serves a dual purpose: providing essential sun shading while creating a subtle barrier between the work environment and its industrial surroundings. This delicate concrete screen challenges conventional perceptions of concrete as merely a solid, monolithic material, instead creating a permeable boundary that blurs the distinction between interior and exterior spaces.” The hero product of this bespoke build? Atlas Concrete’s GreenStone LCC. More than a building, the new Atlas Concrete Head Office is a guiding example of what can be achieved with considered design and material selection – it’s a model for how concrete can be used intentionally, creatively, and sustainably. All concrete can have reduced embodied carbon. Learn more about GreenStone LCC from Atlas Concrete.
