This clean, crisp office makeover reflects a change in corporate culture that saw the need for guest and staff areas to be clearly delineated. On the ground floor, a range of meeting areas and a stylish in-house café, while the open plan offices are located on the floor above.
“Great detailing and great decisions underlie this work, a fit-out undertaken in lockstep with a change in office culture... The use of dark timber could have been oppressive in lesser hands, but here the atmosphere retains a commendable lightness. The lofty main workspace with delightful old timber at the edges is particularly spectacular,” NZIA Awards Jury, 2016.

Staff lockers allow for less clutter while timber walls and glass also provide this busy work environment with a sense of calm. A restrained palette of materials incorporates small accents of NZX’s brand colour, and there’s a hint of a maritime theme that fits with the Wellington waterfront location.
