Precinct Flex Pipiri Lane

The Halsey Traders ground floor event space has been restored to flow through to the new addition of 3 levels of meeting and offices spaces. Structural upgrades were made to ensure the integrity of the space would remain strong; however, it was important that the character of the space remained the same. Halsey Traders has a capacity of 80 guests cocktail style, making this the perfect pre-event or event space. The heritage of this space is celebrated by using shapes, textures and colours. It was important to the Woodland team to ensure our additions to the space celebrated the heritage and didn’t take away character from the space. Halsey Traders is now an operational bar and lounge hospitality space at Pipiri Lane, Precinct Flex.

Sustainability was a core priority integrated seamlessly throughout the development and construction of this space. The deliberate choice of neutral and green tones, paired with natural timber accents, visually emphasizes the vital importance of nature and demonstrates a commitment to respecting the natural environment at Pipiri Lane. This approach is rooted in biophilic design principles. Further reinforcing this focus, the meeting rooms are named after a selection of New Zealand's native trees—Kawakawa, Kānuka, Mingimingi, Manuka, Horopito, and Karamu. This celebrates sustainable construction practices and formally connects the interior environment with the rich local ecology.

Te Kahui is an innovative and modern event space with a stunning harbor view. The show-stopping design element is its dynamic aluminum wall panel system that can move up and down. This unique feature allows the large bar area to be dramatically revealed to or completely hidden from up to 500 cocktail-style guests, making it much more than a regular bar.
