Bascik Transport are a transport and logistics business from Christchurch. Wanting to expand their operation in Auckland, they asked for a new 2500m2 building that incorporated a large, covered, all-weather loading space which also serviced their existing building.
The new building has a 12.5m stud and highly accurate slab levels to enable high-level storage with easy forklift access.
The company’s distinctive bold colours are an integral part of the design, reflecting an energetic, contemporary business that is going places fast.
