Our brief was to design a nurturing and inclusive learning environment for a roll of 200 full time and a similar number of part-time students. This 2000m2 building comprises two pavilions, a single level teaching and classroom block and a two level one, accommodating workshops, combined staff/student dining and administration on a relatively constricted site. These pavilions are accessed via a single storey entrance foyer/link. The built form reflects the essence of traditional Maori building practice without resorting to overt references.Careful attention was also paid to create appropriate external landscaped areas that would accommodate Maori ceremonial protocol.

“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!”
