Tailor Inc 

The design of the Tailor Inc office environment honours & enhances the heritage of the building yet seamlessly modernizes it for 2020 and our new normal. There is a casual flow between the workspaces which are set up for our different teams and a board room that looks out onto the adjoining Britomart Hotel. The generous kitchen and lounge areas are where they come together to refuel and relax. With its 130 years of adaptation, change and reuse, all the internal surfaces in the building have a story to tell. The contrasting brickwork, open portals and layers of finishes which are akin to patchwork, are all reminiscent of the occupants from years gone by. The untouched Kauri timber floors and beams were some of the last of their kind to be laid in the Britomart precinct and make up an integral part of the building with the presence of previous residents etched into the beams and columns throughout, as a form of historical graffiti.
