Designed to house over 6,000m2 of warehouse, showrooms and office space the development successfully achieves the challenging functional requirements of a large storage and distribution building, as well as creating a vibrant and enjoyable open office space. The building was designed as two separate forms connected by a large light filled atrium that clearly denotes the entrance, acts as a central spine linking the two functionally different spaces together. The open plan office benefits from full height glazing to three elevations which creates a light airy atmosphere. The northern elevation is articulated with vertical sun blades which control the mid-day shading, enhancing the main street view. The building achieves a prominent and unique identity within Tauranga which fulfils the client’s diverse needs.

“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!”
