The progress images from Fisher & Paykel Car Park show the installation of Insol louvres. What they don't show is a secondary barrier for cars and pedestrians. That's because we've engineered the facade to be the barrier. There's an integrated abseil access rail, too. #coolfacade

When the parishioners of the Church drew a curved line in the ground that would be shared with the new Wanaka Community Hub building, they unknowingly influenced a design with a curved form that gently leads and welcomes visitors to the main entrance.

Thirty Eight Elizabeth is a vibrant addition to downtown Tauranga that serves multiple purposes. For some, it's a place to shop for the latest fashions. For others, it’s somewhere for a meal and an evening out. For residents, it’s simply home. Common to all purposes is a design that feels like it should be there.

The completed Nairn building at Mount Albert Grammar is the type of building we think the educator it is named after would have appreciated. It cleverly projects both tradition and change, simultaneously allowing lessons from the past and ideas for the future to combine, creating a character and place that sets students up for success, today.

The finished Mairangi Pump Station illustrates how critical infrastructure can serve an architectural purpose, with benefits that flow (no pun intended) from the functional to the aesthetic. It’s a praiseworthy approach and one we hope might spill over to other parts of the country (pun absolutely intended).

The largest Kainga Ora development to date is as equally impressive in the small details as it is in sheer scale. Many of which will shine through the windows, with dappled light dancing in the interior spaces courtesy of those Insol sunshades.

The facade at BMW Motorrad guides visitors through a purposeful decompression zone, into a showroom where glare is managed thanks to the dapple Beacon patterned mesh. It also sends a very distinct message. It’s bold and unapologetic, and it’s perfectly suited to BMW. Ignite Next Level Construction #architecture #bmw #bmwmotorrad #mesh
