Considered the supply partner of choice for New Zealand’s Civil Construction Industry, this kiwi-family-owned business were ready for an office fitout that transforms their place of work to a modern and authentic environment.

The previous office was outdated and disconnected therefore, the brief was practical; create a floorplate that accommodates & supports the leaders of the business and incorporates flexibility for future expansion.

The brand has a strong foothold in the civil and rural industry, and this naturally formed the inspiration of the design concept. The design incorporates an essence of masculinity and industrialism, a genuine reflection of their business. It honors the brand through the dark and natural finishes, exposed black ceiling, dark walnut timbers, and bronze metallic finishes.

Elements of curves were subtly referenced throughout the space; in the perforated boardroom ceiling, the light fixtures, and shadows they cast, in the artwork displayed around the office and in the furniture and joinery units. These cleverly mirror the curvature of a pipe, the heart and soul of the brand. These touches also inherently soften the overall design not only evoking comfort but also a sense of familiarity.

In the workspace zone, it was important to allow for privacy and growth. So, bordering the floorplate are executive offices with simple ceiling grids to dial back to the commonality and familiarness of what once was.

The completed office fitout celebrates this strong New Zealand brand in a subtle manner. It is truly authentic and effortlessly supports the business and leaders in their next evolution of growth.
