Unison Workspaces

About

Testimonials

On behalf of ASB Corporate Property, we would like to reference Unison Workspaces for their succesful installation. This was a very unique fitout as ASB has adopted the Activity Based Concept where there are no offices but lots of different and interesting areas where you can work. 
We found the whole installation process professional; thought ahead and ensured that the process with them seamless; made our life easy by ensuring all items were marked with their location so all knew where items were to be located; dealt with the small number of minor issues quickly with nohassles.
We have no hesitation in recommending them for future work of this nature.

In 2012 our law firm Cooney Lees Morgan, relocated to new premises in Cameron Road, Tauranga. The move was a physical relocation but also a major change to how we worked, as all employees were moved out of offices into an open plan environment. 
Unison worked with Wingate & Farquhar on our workstation design and the layout of our new environment. The major challenge of the furniture design was to create a sense of space for the different groups within our organisation and simultaneously provide privacy within an open plan solution. 
To achieve this Unison Workspaces customised a unique furniture solution utlilising our Clover workstation system. Storage space was another challenge, some areas required large amounts, Unison managed to incorporate custom storage into the workstation design to solve the problem. 
The team at Unison worked with us to provide a furniture fitout that met all of our complex requirements. The furniture provided works well within the concept plan and the project met both the brief and the budget.
Our staff are delighted with the new work areas and we would have no hesitation to work with Unison Workspaces again in the future.

Ernst & Young chose Matisse (now trading as Unison Workspaces) to supply the office furniture for the new Brittomart location in 2012. The decision was partly based on the high quality of the products and also due to the fact that the refurbishment of a considerable amount of the existing workstations could be included into the new plan.
Ernst & Young is delighted with the new contemporary workspaces, partly constructed from workstations that were purchased more than a decade ago.
“The new office design and furniture has been very well received by both staff and clients. It is contemporary, visual appealing and conducive to collaboration and creativity.”
“The fact that we could re-use some of our existing furniture was a huge bonus, reducing both the cost of the project and the environmental footprint.”
Jane Roulston was the Project Manager from the Matisse side.
“Jane was fantastic to work with, she made sure that everything went to plan and was always on hand with advice and suggestions when we needed her support. Her industry experience was really invaluable to our project.”
Overall the project was highly successful; we achieved everything we set out to and more. “I would have no hesitation in recommending Jane Roulston or Unison Workspaces to any organisation considering a new office fit out

Staples Rodway have a history in Tauranga that spans 65 years. After occupying our previous premises for almost 30 years the company was ready for a change. One of the key requirements for our new offices was to create an energetic, contemporary space where staff and partners could collaborate effectively together.
A major paradigm change was to move all previously ‘office bound’ employees into an open environment, creating a fundamental shift in how the teams communicate and work together. To encourage seamless communication and foster collaboration, certain areas or zones like the central ‘Marketplace’ were allocated as communal work spaces.
The decision to work with Matisse (now trading as Unison Workspaces) was partly due to the legacy of the excellent reputation in the marketplace, and the creativity of the solution developed for our budget.
For our offices Unison selected a mixture of Clover Architectural offices and desks from MOX. They chose Sayl meeting and task chairs complemented with custom tables and Gliss café and barstools. The breakout area was furnished with Steelwood chairs and stools.
Unison Workspaces managed to complete our project within the required budget. The timeframes were very challenging considering some of the components were imported, however, Unison worked hard to pull everything together by the required deadline. 
“The team at Unison Workspaces were good to deal with. I was impressed with how well the project was handled and the creative problem solving skills of the team. I would be happy to work with Jane and Unison Workspaces again for any future projects.”
