T&G Global - Whakatū
By DLA Architects
T&G Global are a world leading produce distributor. In 2020 they recognised the need to expand their Hawke’s Bay operation to meet the ever-increasing demand for apples domestically and internationally. They commissioned a new 12,500m2 warehouse capable of packing more than 125 million kilograms of apples per season – making it one of the largest packhouses in the Southern Hemisphere. The new packhouse streamlines the storage, sorting, and distribution processes, allowing for faster turnaround times and improved overall efficiency.
DLA were commissioned to design the new first-class offices, amenities and cafeteria spaces and developed a solution that not only met the brief but was also cognisant of cost pressures and regulatory standards, that also looks and feels fantastic - utilising natural timbers, a muted colour palette and the ample natural light.

Dickson Lonergan Architects (DLA) was founded in Whanganui in 1974 with founding partners Bruce Dickson (retired) and the late Barry Lonergan. Once fully established in the Whanganui region, DLA then started to expand the business, first into Wellington in 1999 with Barry and Glenn starting up the capital city office. Then came the Timaru Office headed up by Murray Ackroyd in 2005 and the further expansion to Hamilton in 2010 with Martin Swann.
The opportunity then arose to open an Auckland office in 2015 with Alana moving north from Wellington. Now with 5 offices, DLA has evolved from its humble beginnings into a nationwide practice, with a passionate team of architects and designers who specialise in all fields from commercial, residential, industrial, interiors, education and public projects through to DLA’s main stay of large scale dairy and food processing architecture.
