Kowtow Flagship
By Makers of Architecture
College Street, Wellington, New Zealand
Kowtow was established in 2007 with the desire to create an ethical label that would be the example of a fashion-forward, global thinking business. 11 years on, the label opens its flagship store in their hometown of Wellington.
A reflection of the brand’s ethical credentials, the store fit-out utilises quality hand-crafted, locally sourced, recycled and sustainably harvested materials throughout. Minimalist simplicity and generosity anchor the stores spatial experience, while the layout is defined by the structured and rhythmic floor to ceiling timber slats, racking & shelving systems, allowing transparency and cohesion throughout.
The Eucalyptus timber screens and structures were designed and constructed as prefabricated components, allowing the manufacturing of each to take place with accuracy in the Makers Fabrication factory prior to onsite installation. This supported a rapid on-site project delivery & assembly.

About the
Professional
We enjoy a challenge and particularly the journey that is creative problem solving.
Engaging with the latest technologies allows us to be innovative and accurate in our working, planning, budgeting, timing and construction methods. We truly believe the design and building process has many areas to be challenged and improved. We also understand that architecture isn’t just the culmination of an idea or concept but it must be responsive to the environments of; location, client needs + dreams, financial and cultural positions. Sensitively bringing these attributes together shapes, guides and balances each project’s scope, generating a unique set of criteria for the design to emerge and develop from.
As every client, site and project is different, we welcome every challenge that is presented and endeavour to make each project an exceptional journey and experience for all involved.
Clear communication, openness and integrity ground our company and its relationships with our clients and collaborators. We wish to engage with positive energy, creativity and innovation and to mitigate as many foreseeable problems that may arise or be of concern.
