Wang Food Market: A modern commercial property in Rosedale, Auckland, featuring a spacious grocery area, sub-tenancy units, and a warehouse, completed in 2019 and awarded Silver at the New Zealand Commercial Project Awards 2021.

The Wang supermarket is an iconic commercial property in the Rosedale business district, Auckland.

  • Year Completed: 2019
  • Location: 98 Rosedale Road, Rosedale
  • Professional Service/s: Resource Consent, Building Consent
  • Awards: New Zealand Commercial Project Awards | Silver Award 2021

Overview:
The building has a footprint of 1,570m² with a large grocery shopping area, five internal sub-tenancy units, and a warehouse area. Our design aimed to provide a simple architectural form with modern, elegant aesthetics for a high-level shopping environment.

Solution:
To achieve the look desired, we used painted concrete precast panels with a groove cut pattern along with light colour weatherboards to create a modern exterior look with elegant decoration details. The high roof with louvres and unframed clear glass highlight the position of the main entrance.

In Detail:
The use of the steel portal frames helps to create ample clear space for the specific requirements of the supermarket and warehouse. The high-quality internal finishing presents a comfortable, relaxing shopping experience for customers. Taking into consideration the abundant passenger flow forecasted, we designed a large car parking area with accessible space to comply with the daily traffic and parking requirements for the new supermarket.

The client was extremely satisfied with the design and the new supermarket has brought new life into the original business district.

“I have worked with THE DESIGNFIRE since 2014 with projects ranging from residential developments and high-end holiday homes. THE DESIGNFIRE has indeed become not only my company’s “Chief Designer” but also my “Personal Design Adviser”. THE DESIGNFIRE was engaged for all of our high-end residential developments and all of my holiday homes in Auckland. They were able to help me as a single point of responsibility with initial concept designs, material and colour selections right through to implementation and build, all within a set budget and timescale. I gained two fundamental benefits from employing THE DESIGNFIRE. One is the design itself. They were able to take a few basic and rather uncertain ideas of mine and show how they could be realised to best effect. They put forward the most incredible ideas for floor plans, spatial quality, interior design, and special architectural features. They were particularly amazing at coming up with solutions, and improvising, for the areas I hadn’t considered. Sourcing everything would have taken me weeks, or never at all. I have to say that they have a wonderful & trendy taste of design ideas. They always give you choices and add some interesting things in that you just wouldn’t have thought of, but that works beautifully. Another one is commercial benefits, our clients were all extremely happy with the design solution in our development, and they believe our product is different from those by other developers. I believe THE DESIGNFIRE’s design had some good influence here. Speaking of my own holiday houses, while I’ve only got to enjoy a few days in a year, most of the other times were rented out short term, and the return has been amazing, the stylish houses that THE DESIGNFIRE created generated huge interest and made my houses really popular in the area.”
