By The Room
A bold and bright new office space designed for a creative team of Music and Event promoters in the Bay of Plenty
The ever expanding and high energy machine behind New Zealand's biggest music events, such as Bay Dreams, One Love, SoundSplash and Summer of Disco needed a new, larger and more fit for purpose office space to house their growing team and festival equipment.
The brief was "Give us a Google Office!!".... "Bold, bright, creative and fun to be in 24 hours a day." was the next sentence in the briefing meeting.
By dividing the large double height, multi level space into work and play zones, 2 'pods' were built to accomodate the request for many and varying types of meeting and chill out spaces for the staff to use.
The Welcome Pod, houses a coffee bar and meeting area on ground level, with a second meeting space on the roof.
The 'Work pod' houses a collaboration desk cluster on ground floor, with Personal Assistant work stations on the roof top.
As well as bold colour and strong forms, the space has been saturated with wall graphics and imagery relating to the long list of festivals produced from this space.
The Room interior architecture consultancy was born from a need in the design industry, for small scale interior design consultancies to cater to the commercial interiors sector. Rapid pace changes in market place, business and technologies, means all business, large and small, feel pressure to update, reinvent, and refresh their brand, product, services and profile more regularly.
The majority of commercial Interior Design Consultancies, are large scale, which in turn, reflect large fees and extended time frames and deliverables. Modern businesses are wanting innovative design, competitive services, as well as time and cost efficiencies for their projects.

This has allowed The Room to widen their scope of work within each project, from colour consultancy and finishes, fittings and fixtures, to room layout, internal structures, kitchen and bathroom design through to exterior surfaces and landscape design.
