Staples Rodway’s existing offices no longer supported the firms working requirements. Our brief was specific about the front of house space, which had to service a loyal client base whilst attracting new clients. The space had to support both training events and confidential discussions. The offices are located internally with a flexible open plan workspace distributed around the perimeter. The re-discovery of a New Zealand pottery collection that had formed a feature of their original fitout led to its reuse in this design. Consequently, the reception space became a gallery. All other finishes were deliberately pared back in order that the art and the occupants became the heroes.

“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!”
