Tākina Wellington Centre

The Tākina Wellington Convention Centre is located near the waterfront opposite the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The ground floor will include a 1280sqm Exhibition Gallery, and the upper two levels will provide 10,000sq meters of flexible mixed-use space for meetings and exhibits. Sustainability is a key goal with the building having achieved 5-Green Star certification - one of the sustainable initiatives is the thermal insulation and high-performance double glazing using SEFAR® technology, offering improved thermal comfort and energy efficiency. The Thermosash PW1000 Unitised Curtainwall facade comprises of 1000 individual panels made up of 1500 pieces of SEFAR® glass - the glass has a fabric metal coated mesh laminated in the outer pane of the IGU. The metal reflects the light creating a changing exterior aesthetic to the building. This is the first major project in New Zealand utilizing the SEFAR® product. The procurement and supply of the glass was managed by Woods Glass (NZ) Ltd. Through delivering world class building envelope solutions Thermosash continues to be a proud part of the changing landscape in Wellington, and throughout the rest of New Zealand, since 1973.
