Generator - Waring Taylor

Homage to history 

This project uncovers the eclectic charm of Generator’s first Wellington location within a 1920s former publishing house and auction building.

Using elements of the past to bring a unique, Wellington identity to the project was the fundamental ambition of the design. We focused on retaining and reusing existing building elements which were seismically upgraded to provide a new-found resilience for the future, touching the building lightly to reveal its inherent historical character. 

Flexible workspaces

Generator's success comes from offering flexible workspaces in an energised, creative environment that cater to a growing sector of freelancers who want spaces to work and network. 

Four floors of shared workspace sit above a members lounge and event space in the basement and a suite of meeting rooms on the ground floor. The members' lounge is below street level, offering views of the central city location through the high bay windows. A central light-filled atrium enhances the user experience.
