Our client required a refresh to their existing café in the entrance lobby of the Polynesian spa in Rotorua. Having been involved with the master plan Wingates understood the connection and importance of the café to the business. We reviewed the existing layout and proposed to relocate the café counter from the west window side to the south side achieving eye contact with the customer on arrival and a connection to the café as visitors passed through. Scale was brought to the space by placing a canopy over the counter and by hanging the large sculptural wire lights. We kept the existing kitchen in the same location which enabled the customer counter and working area to be low height and open. Location: Rotorua Year Completed: 2017 Photography: Simon Devitt

“We were delighted to partner with Wingate on the design and delivery of our amazing new Auckland offices. Our brief was for Wingate to step away from the look of a traditional law firm and push the boundaries with a design that has more of a boutique and relaxed feel. Having been the first NZ law firm to embrace an open plan environment approximately 15 years ago and we wanted to be bold with our design to evolve the way we work to the next stage. The result is tremendous and we really enjoyed working with the Wingate team throughout the process. Wingate were also superb in pulling together a great team to deliver the project and the early engagement process with Savory Construction worked extremely well to ensure that our tight timeframes were met. We are loving our new home and there is already a noticeable increase in productivity as a result!”
