A modern upgrade of a 1970s commercial building in Grey Lynn, transforming 1000m2 into a bright, attractive workspace while preserving its historical character, completed in 2024.
Occasionally we are asked to complete commercial work and we agreed to transform this 1970’s 1000m2 Grey Lynn building for its new owner. The building had served the community well for many years, its last calling was the home of Youth Line.
The brief was to remove the rabbit warren of internal partitions and open the spaces to create a bright attractive work environment albeit with some retained character.
The biggest challenge was the discovery of A Class asbestos throughout the building. This was our first experience with this level of contamination. It was an eye opener. Once we got through that hurdle the project progressed in a timely fashion to the finish line.
The building is now occupied by two businesses that are enjoying all the comforts of a modern building with the character of the old still intact.
