Quad 19
By The Tile Depot
Designed by Rob Guild, Principal at Buchan, Quad 19 is a stunning 3 storey apartment complex in St Heliers Bay, Auckland. A testament to luxury living, the two first floor apartments and top floor penthouse are adorned with architectural details that reward the residents with extensive views of the Hauraki Gulf amidst elegant and contemporary surrounds.
Featured throughout the ground level lobby, interlinking staircases and apartment bathrooms, is an Italian porcelain stoneware supplied by the Tile Depot. Ego Avorio 600x1200mm is a large format porcelain inspired by an ancient Mexican stone. A unique blend of limestone and granite aesthetics, this magnificent tile captures the essence and beauty of natural stone with all the durability and low maintenance benefits of porcelain. With its beautiful aggregate detailing and soft grey sandy tones it draws a wonderful, subtle connection to the nearby sandy shoreline and flows beautifully throughout both shared and private areas of the building.
With presence, permanence and a sense of the passing of time, the Ego Avorio is an elegant and restrained design. Tiled floor to ceiling in the bathrooms and flowing seamlessly into the showers, Ego Avorio adds a lovely sense of calm and tranquillity to these high use spaces. A lovely sense of arrival is created in the lobby, setting the character of what lies throughout the rest of the building, whilst also providing a timeless, attractive floor covering that is forgiving of any sand brought in from the beach.
Custom made stair treads, Ego Gradino, adorn the staircase, with the width of the stairs perfectly spanned by a single tile. The result is a beautifully streamlined staircase with clean uninterrupted lines.
A beautiful project in the heart of St Heliers.

About the
Professional
The Tile Depot was established in 1995 and has since grown into one of the leading importers and retailers of quality tiles in New Zealand. 2020 marked 25 years since we began with one small shop and a range of just 23 tiles. We now have 13 large format stores from Whangarei to Queenstown, and our range exceeds 1000 tiles from Italian, Spanish and Asian manufacturers.
We select and source most of our range directly from manufactures based in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and China. This gives us much better control over the availability, quality, and price, 3 key factors in providing a happy tiling experience. To date, our growth and success has come from providing a combination of a very large selection of importer priced tiles, tools, installation materials and accessories displayed in large showrooms, and supported by knowledgeable staff committed to providing fast friendly and efficient service.
Our showrooms and warehouse now occupy 13 locations, plus we have a network of re-sellers in Kerikeri, Gisborne, Nelson, Christchurch & Dunedin. Some tile importers take your order and then pass it on to a factory overseas to avoid sitting on stock that may not sell, this can create huge lead times of months before you get your order. We have over 230,000m2 worth of stock waiting for you!
In 2017 we became the first New Zealand Tile business to gain Consumer Trusted Accreditation. The principles of the Consumer Trusted concept is to give consumers peace of mind they are dealing with a market leader that puts the consumer first, something our team strive to achieve and constantly improve on.
