Pinehill Commercial Development
The Pinehill Commercial Hub, on Greville Road, a development designed to enhance Auckland’s North Shore with modern retail and commercial spaces that prioritize sustainability and community. The main aspect of this development is the Woolworths supermarket, a 3,650sqm flagship store that offers a contemporary shopping experience for Pinehill, Albany, and the surrounding suburbs.
A key component of the development’s architectural design is the use of UltraBatten, a premium façade solution provided by Vulcan, which plays a key role in softening large building surfaces. The integration of UltraBatten ensures the development harmonizes with its natural surroundings, reducing the visual impact of its large-scale structures and creating a more inviting, less imposing look on the landscape.
Key benefits of UltraBatten include:
- Visual Harmony: Helps break up large, flat surfaces, blending architecture seamlessly into the environment.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Adds texture and depth, providing a modern, sleek appearance to facades.
- Low Maintenance: Compared to timber battens, UltraBatten offers a vastly lower total maintenance cost, avoiding growth and discolouration over time.
- Sustainability: Complements the eco-conscious design of the development, contributing to its overall low-impact ethos.
This thoughtful approach not only improves the visual experience for the local community but also underscores the project’s commitment to sustainability and innovative design.

At the rear of the project UltraBatten was used to stylishly shield and protect the large stock inwards goods area, whilst enabling plenty of airflow.
UltraBatten
UltraBatten offers several key benefits to this project. It creates visual harmony by breaking up large, flat surfaces and allowing the architecture to blend seamlessly into the environment, softening the overall appearance of the buildings. The battens also add texture and depth to the facades, enhancing the aesthetic appeal with a sleek, modern finish.
Additionally, compared to traditional timber battens, UltraBatten requires far less maintenance, making it a durable, cost-effective solution that preserves its visual integrity over time.
