On the Wellington waterfront, in the PWC centre (designed by Athfield Architects), an office interior designed to reflect the Medical Assurance Society’snew brand, and its move to an innovative, paperless workspace.
Our approach was an open plan office with flexible meeting and breakout spaces. A refined palette of colours and materials (clear finished plywood, patterned glass and acoustic panels) aligns with the company brand.
