This made-to-measure office creates a lasting first impression through considered and rigorous design. Arrival into the hotel-style lobby is a massive power move; a lightning-fast lift opens into a darkened interior with glimpses of the Waitematā. All surfaces are exquisite, with no expense spared for aged brass, bespoke terrazzo and fluted glass. This rigour carries through to the working areas over three floors, where wood-lined partner offices have been replaced by an open-plan apprentice model.
