Teamed with: Kenny Chia, Magdalena Sperska
Involvement: Urban Design Panel Packages, Resource Consent, Building Consent, Site Observation
Situated in Parnell, Auckland, this commercial office/retail is inspired by its context - situated opposite the significant Axis building. The facade pays homage to the vertical lines and proportions of the Axis building as well as the 1920s era when the building came to fruition. In terms of my involvement, I assisted in carrying out items from resource consent till the later stages of construction from 2014-2018. In the 1200 hours I worked on the project, I was involved in early renderings, working drawings for the atrium, atrium ceilings, and interior and exterior stair details. I coordinated with the structural engineer and site engineers on the job and visited site often as our old office was next door. The project received an honorable mention in the NZIA Local awards in 2020. Photos courtesy of Simon Devitt and FORMiS
