Warren and Mahoney's new Wellington office gives dual-focus to the roles of being both a host and promoting staff well-being. On arrival visitors are greeted at a polished brass reception counter, which doubles as a servery for functions by the simple removal of the cardboard tube countertop upstand. A promenade of polished concrete floor connects visitors and staff into the heart of the open-plan studio, a place to gather, exchange ideas, and share in celebrations. The interior exploits the rich materials of the old Odlins Building - exposed brick, natural timber rafters and concrete floors - to provide a textured backdrop for new contemporary interventions. This project is a skillful exercise in restraint, recognising not just how much to add, but also what to remove and reveal.
