Te Arikinui Pullman Auckland Airport Hotel has been awarded two of the highest accolades by the Designers Institute of New Zealand - marking the ‘best of the best’ in design for 2024. Designed by WAM in close collaboration with Tainui Group Holdings Limited and Auckland Airport, and interiors in association with Space Studio, Te Arikinui received two supreme Purple Pins at the DINZ Best Awards, and two Gold Pins for Spatial and Toitanga on Friday. "Te Arikinui Pullman Hotel exemplifies the integration of te ao Māori and architectural design," said the jury. "It has seamlessly blended a truly indigenous design into the innovation of a high-class modern space. The design has set a standard for re-indigenising our spaces to exude the prestige and elegance of cultural narratives. The name Te Arikinui holds exceptional mana in Aotearoa New Zealand and the judges have agreed that this design, narrative, and innovation upholds that mana and is the pinnacle of the spatial category in 2024. Nei rā ngā mihi nui whakaharahara ki a koutou o Tainui, otirā, ngā mātanga katoa o te kaupapa hirahira rā. Ko tā koutou mahi te taumata i tēnei tau." WAM Managing Director John Coop says this is an outstanding outcome, and well-deserved recognition for this significant project. “To receive a Purple Pin is a very rare occurrence. But to be recognised with two Purple Pins is an incredible achievement that recognises the hard work, dedication and commitment from our clients and the design and delivery teams. Our congratulations and sincere thanks to all involved for their dedication to design excellence.” View more about this project here: https://lnkd.in/dYvGpPWw Renata Te Wiata Space Studio Ltd

🔥 COMING SOON – a new and exciting Equitone range is on it’s way…

The Pā – University of Waikato is an incredible and iconic building in its own right. A clever collab between Architectus, Jasmax, Design Tribe, and Wraight Associates Ltd, this is a beautiful example of the use of warm hues on the facade (flowing into the interior), bringing a feeling of welcome home, and earth into a space. We are really proud that our HD fibre cement product equitone featured so prominently on this one. It's no wonder this project was recently crowned WINNER – Te Kāhui Whaihanga NZIA Waikato & Bay of Plenty Architecture Award – Education 2024. PRODUCTS: Equitone natura in colours 074, 331 and 359. Alucolux in champagne metallic was used for interior saw tooth detailing and signage panels. PHOTOGRAPHER: Mark Scowen Photography

We were delighted to work with MINISTRY and the team Symonite Panels Limited to deliver another fantastic Education project. With the current review of Education projects throughout New Zealand focused on cost, we believe it's important to remember there's more to the story than build costs. Long service life with minimal maintenance is key to keeping education dollars focused on the learning of the next generation. The Building Agency has kept these values at the core of what we do. Healthy, safe learning living and learning environments.

We are excited to confirm we supply New Zealand's only CODEMARK Certified Asphalt Shingle Roofing System manufactured by Owens Corning. Well done team! After an exhaustive development program we're delighted to announce our CODEMARK has finally been issued by Bureau Veritas Group, completing our Premium Range of Roofing Systems. Owens Corning Shingles have been widely used in New Zealand for over 30 years and therefore have decades of proven performance in the NZ climate. They also have extremely high production standards and are one of the worlds largest producers of roofing shingles, membranes and fibreglass reinforced products. Standard colours in stock and additional colours available on indent. Chat to our team about your project, take a look at the technical documents on our website or visit us at our showroom at 14 Link Drive, Wairau Valley to see colour samples. #owenscorning #asphaltshingles #nzroofing #codemarkroofing #roofing #roofingcontractors #roofingcompany #roofingindustry #roofingprofessionals #roofingsolutions #roofingexcellence #asphaltshingles #propertydevelopers #architecturaldesign #architectureinspiration #architecturalexcellence #roofingsystem #durability #architects #homebuilders #newroof

Great to get the new CodeMark through. Equitone ANZ along with The Building Agency can also assist with Specific Engineering Design for builds outside the scope of the CodeMark. This includes many Social Housing and Education projects that benefit from Equitone's extremely low maintenance and sustainability.
