Station R

Designed in-house at Ockham by architect Martin King, Station R responds to the textural and structural qualities of the rail tracks and passing trains to the north of the site. Shuttered cast concrete with a rough-sawn timber finish provides a texture found in the industrial heritage of the site. These wall panels echo the movements of passing trains and the building form follows the curve of the street and train tracks.

The rear of the building faces the historical residential bungalows of Mt Eden in their leafy green streets. Martin has encompassed these features by incorporating living green walls, timber panelling, and bamboo decking, which provide quiet, sheltered spaces for the residents. The result is a mixture of diffused light and scattered shadows, reflecting the mature trees of the neighbourhood.

In keeping with Ockham’s cornerstone philosophies, Station R consists of materials that are durable, low maintenance, and have a distinctly residential appearance. The incorporation of timber panelling, honed concrete, and living green walls reflect the diversity of the local built environment while ensuring the building responds in a personal manner to its residents.

Our love of water began the day George Methven began producing brass and iron hardware in Dunedin, back in 1886. Ever since we’ve been captivated by its elemental power to transform: to change our moods, lift our spirits, to make us feel refreshed and renewed.

It’s a passion that has inspired generations of Methven engineers and designers in a quest to create the ultimate experience of water. Today, we offer a range of exceptional water experiences that all share one vision.

The ability to create a treat for the senses.

This is what sets Methven apart. Because when you experience

Methven, you truly experience water.

Water is an adventure of the skin and senses. From the tumble of a mountain stream to the immersive promise of a hot pool, water has the raw power to lift our mood and transform our state of mind.

At Methven, their love of water began in 1886. Ever since, they have devoted themselves to harnessing its transformative properties, creating experiences that can soothe and stimulate, comfort and awaken, relax and revitalise.

Through intelligent design and precision engineering, Methven found ways to shape water, to recreate its many guises in nature and its seductive appeal to their emotions.

The result is something that transcends the everyday. From the moment the water hits your skin, Methven delivers a treat for the senses. This is what sets Methven apart. Because when you experience Methven you truly experience water.
