Situated prominently in Auckland’s CBD, 48 Greys Avenue is more than just a nine-storey office building. With its strategic position at the junction of Greys Avenue and Mayoral Drive, it offers breathtaking views over Myers Park. Now, it is undergoing a significant transformation, with THE DESIGNFIRE at the helm, steering a comprehensive renovation that spans from the lobbies to a refreshed penthouse and a contemporary ground floor façade.

The scale of the renovation is truly impressive. Each of the floors up to the fifth measures around 800m², while the top space is earmarked for a compact 200m² of modern office setups, cumulatively transforming 5,500m² of floor space. The existing café is also receiving a fresh look along the northern basement façade. Moreover, cutting-edge materials, including Nu-Wall cladding systems and the Kingspan warm roofing system, are being employed to ensure the building's durability and aesthetics.

Addressing the challenges of such a massive project, THE DESIGNFIRE's team has been diligent. They tackled complex issues such as the seismic joint junction and ensured the safety of the structure, especially concerning fire hazards. The team's meticulous approach ensured that both aesthetic appeal and safety standards were not compromised.

In essence, the renovation of 48 Greys Avenue isn’t just about refurbishing an office space, it's a testament to the power of visionary design and impeccable coordination. As the final touches are added, Auckland awaits a modern architectural marvel, all thanks to the unmatched prowess of THE DESIGNFIRE.
