20 Customhouse Quay is now known as the Deloitte building with the international financial services firm moving in and taking naming rights. The 14 storey building, which was completed in late 2017, has an NZGBC 5 Star Green Star rating.
The modern design by Studio Pacific Architecture brings international best practice in safety and resilience with base isolation and a diagrid structure - now essential requirements in earthquake-prone Wellington. A generous ground floor entry lobby with five-metre high ceilings and a ground floor café designed for informal meetings form the public spaces. ECC lit both the lobby area and fitted out the Deloitte offices with both task and decorative lighting.
