An innovative first
This is an innovative first for Precinct in a growing portfolio to bring different scales of workplace and types of tenants to premium grade buildings. A distributed model of co-working and meeting suites, it enables smaller and more diverse occupiers to find a home.
It also uses commercial yield that might otherwise be challenging to lease. Essentially this is five tenancies on one floor, sharing common area with a boardroom and lounge for all to reserve and use. Tenants have access to book the Generator event spaces also within the precinct, which means these smaller spaces are likely to meet the needs of tenants for longer, as tenant's evolving demands can be accommodated within shared amenity within the development.
This is a workplace eco-system designed to create an exclusive home for organisations of every scale.
Uniquely Aotearoa
Given the elevation and positioning of the suites, the original reference point for the design was native birds. Specifically, we referenced the Huia, an extinct species commonly found in the North Island. We were drawn to its subtle charisma and glossy black plumage with a green metallic sheen and long, white-tipped tail feathers. The use of gold metallics reference the distinctive bright orange wattles, the dark tones and patterning of the timber floor speaks of the feathers, while the use of silk wallpapers brings a hotel-style experience to the space.
The suites are about creating a set of distributed facilities in a single development – by sharing amenity - small business can now have access to all the features of a premium workplace.
