A transformative renovation of 48 Greys Avenue in Auckland's CBD, featuring modern office spaces, a refreshed penthouse, and cutting-edge materials, all while ensuring safety and aesthetic appeal under the expert guidance of THE DESIGNFIRE.

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.

“I have worked with THE DESIGNFIRE since 2014 with projects ranging from residential developments and high-end holiday homes. THE DESIGNFIRE has indeed become not only my company’s “Chief Designer” but also my “Personal Design Adviser”. THE DESIGNFIRE was engaged for all of our high-end residential developments and all of my holiday homes in Auckland. They were able to help me as a single point of responsibility with initial concept designs, material and colour selections right through to implementation and build, all within a set budget and timescale. I gained two fundamental benefits from employing THE DESIGNFIRE. One is the design itself. They were able to take a few basic and rather uncertain ideas of mine and show how they could be realised to best effect. They put forward the most incredible ideas for floor plans, spatial quality, interior design, and special architectural features. They were particularly amazing at coming up with solutions, and improvising, for the areas I hadn’t considered. Sourcing everything would have taken me weeks, or never at all. I have to say that they have a wonderful & trendy taste of design ideas. They always give you choices and add some interesting things in that you just wouldn’t have thought of, but that works beautifully. Another one is commercial benefits, our clients were all extremely happy with the design solution in our development, and they believe our product is different from those by other developers. I believe THE DESIGNFIRE’s design had some good influence here. Speaking of my own holiday houses, while I’ve only got to enjoy a few days in a year, most of the other times were rented out short term, and the return has been amazing, the stylish houses that THE DESIGNFIRE created generated huge interest and made my houses really popular in the area.”
