Natural Ventilation through the building design has huge benefit to the health + productivity of the tenants

This is a highly thermally efficient building with the health and wellbeing of its inhabitants given top-most priority, oxygenating the office spaces with a heat recovery ventilation system (along with plants) creates a space less likely to cause mid afternoon drowsiness

Tilt/turn optimal windows were installed as an effective + efficient system, increasing the energy performance + air quality

Natural paints + undercoats were used on all walls/ceilings

High performance water-based sealants used on all natural wood cabinetry in the kitchen + bathrooms

Mitigation of toxins in materials and furnishings used across both the construction + interiors

The building captures rainwater to be used across the exterior planting

Kitchen, bathroom + laundry areas have water-preserving appliances + tap ware installed

A focus on consumption of the purest possible H2O for the team + tenants, ensuring that it’s in sight + easy to access with reusable water bottles

The effect of sunlight was modelled and given consideration and external aluminium shrouds provide summer shading and also protection to the timber windows and doors

Coupled with the best circadian lighting design based on the workstation layout

We also help to avoid glare + high-reflective surfaces via the interior elements

The design was led by supporting our innate desire to be close to nature

We brought this to life via the inspired colour palate, natural wood elements + interior planting

Additionally the positioning of the desks away from the walls increased the opportunity of taking in the views of the outside green-spaces

Productivity in semi + open plan offices can be affected by audible conversations + other distracting sounds

Autex panels in all spaces

A focus on interior elements + screens that aid in absorbing these loud sounds resulted in a calmer environment for the tenants

Relocation of an existing house on the section ensured there was no unnecessary demolition + waste sent to landfill

The building is solar-powered, reducing their carbon footprint + operational costs

Structural Insulated Panels were used to to create a high-performing thermally efficient building

The building features a heating recovery ventilation system

Timber cladding was sourced from New Zealand’s FSC certified rapidly renewable plantation forests

Rainwater gardens wrap around the exterior
