The proposed retrofitted ‘new’ Te Awamutu premises for Edmonds Judd is located within the iconic, mid last century building with a rich history of previously accommodating the Waipa Networks corporate headquarters. The existing building envelope features bold plastered 3D stairwells and facade recesses with curving projections along with the extensive use of ‘bronzed’ aluminium joinery and matching glazing. DLA was committed to providing an interior design which acknowledged the history and context of the building whilst maximising the internal quality of the fit-out via a modern open plan arrangement of space.     

The fit-out was envisaged to reinforce and promote the professional yet personable Edmonds Judd brand and also help nurture a dynamic workplace culture. Planning wise the ground floor was opened up to accommodate a relaxed, informal ‘cafe’ look and feel to Reception with a feature beverage/coffee bay adjacent to the Reception / Waiting area. The Client facilities are all centrally located and accessed within the ground floor to ease with wayfinding and visitor containment. The rear of the ground floor accommodates extensive Boardroom facilities in a fully flexible configuration with ‘disappearing’ glazed stacker sliders plus access to the exterior via a deck which can accommodate larger functions and events. The first-floor general arrangement is a modular configuration of private offices punctuated with zones for open plan workstations and storage/amenity functions.

We are dla, creators of top notch architecture

We're small enough to take care of everything from your modest residential renovation and big enough to design, document and deliver multi-million-dollar industrial and commercial facilities, with the in-house expertise to cater for all projects in between.

Dickson Lonergan Architects (DLA) was founded in Whanganui in 1974 with founding partners Bruce Dickson (retired) and the late Barry Lonergan. Once fully established in the Whanganui region, DLA then started to expand the business, first into Wellington in 1999 with Barry and Glenn starting up the capital city office. Then came the Timaru Office headed up by Murray Ackroyd in 2005 and the further expansion to Hamilton in 2010 with Martin Swann. 

The opportunity then arose to open an Auckland office in 2015 with Alana moving north from Wellington. Now with 5 offices, DLA has evolved from its humble beginnings into a nationwide practice, with a passionate team of architects and designers who specialise in all fields from commercial, residential, industrial, interiors, education and public projects through to DLA’s main stay of large scale dairy and food processing architecture.
