Whilst most of Browns Bay’s built context consists of narrow buildings presenting small frontages to the street, this site, and the nature of the building type lends itself to being a single form with a large frontage. In order to respond to and maintain the nature of the existing context, the proposed building has been conceived as three gable ended buildings running north/south with the gables addressing Inverness Road and Anzac Road. This divides the building into narrower parts, similar in width to its neighbours. This division is further accentuated by differing cladding types on each gable. Each form takes on its own expression whilst maintaining the character of the building as a whole. Location: Auckland Year Completed: 2015 Awards: BEST Award Finalist : Retail Environments

“We were delighted to partner with Wingate on the design and delivery of our amazing new Auckland offices. Our brief was for Wingate to step away from the look of a traditional law firm and push the boundaries with a design that has more of a boutique and relaxed feel. Having been the first NZ law firm to embrace an open plan environment approximately 15 years ago and we wanted to be bold with our design to evolve the way we work to the next stage. The result is tremendous and we really enjoyed working with the Wingate team throughout the process. Wingate were also superb in pulling together a great team to deliver the project and the early engagement process with Savory Construction worked extremely well to ensure that our tight timeframes were met. We are loving our new home and there is already a noticeable increase in productivity as a result!”
