With unobstructed views toward the Western Town Belt and Seddon Park, Tristram Precinct stands on a prominent site on the outer edges of the Hamilton CBD, boasting 14,000m2 of A-grade office accommodation. According to the brief, the development of the site needed to maximise its potential by providing a significant increase in net lettable area. Contrary to the original, inward-focused building, we considered how the new design would complement the landscape and strengthen the connection with the pedestrian infrastructure that surrounds it. Internally, carefully positioned light wells pierce the upper levels, providing natural light deep into the large floor plates. Outside, clean lines are punctuated by solar control louvers on the glazed northern façade.
From urban spaces and workplaces, to private homes and holiday retreats, we believe good design should create an enriching experience that inspires individual and social well-being.
From our studios in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty we offer a comprehensive architectural service, extending from the macro level of master planning to the tactile experience of intimate interior spaces.
Each of our projects is an opportunity to bring together, people, capability and resource, in order to produce the highest outcome. Our design-led and pragmatic approach develops design responses that are thoughtful and beautiful yet grounded in a deep understanding of craftsmanship and technology.
Since Edwards White began in 2005 we have been designing with a deep respect of the environmental context. We believe that early integration of sustainability into conceptual thinking, leads to rich design outcomes that positively shape our environment and our culture. We’re also taking additional steps to improve the way our decisions and operations support a low carbon future, and are committed to the education and implementation of these practices.
