Griffins
Location: Auckland, NZ
Completed: whilst working at Spaceworks with a wider design team
I was completely involved in this project, engaging with the client, graphic designers and contractors (prior to build).
I admittedly drove this project after the senior designer running it initially left for maternity leave and really pushed having the
layout, design, pricing and furniture selections signed off prior to finishing at Spaceworks, just before site works commenced.
Griffins was a fun office fitout as they were rebranding at the
same time, so we worked closely with their Graphic Designers to
acheive a new office space that cleverly expressed the new brand
concept through texture, colour, materials & lighting.
The layout was splaceplanned to create an open plan activity
based learning environment, where staff would have not individual,
set workspace. The kitchen was designed to be the first space
clients and staff entered after the waiting area, with a beautifully
designed cafe and breakout booths for relaxed meetings.
The smaller 4-6 person meeting rooms consisted of a variety of
open and closed spaces. Large custom built tables were placed in
differing zones to encourage interavtive working.Quiet highback
sofas are dotted about the floor for touchdown converstation. A
hallway near the entry shows custom designed lockers lining the
walls, for staff storage and their office “toolbox”.
And an IT help desk centrally located allows for efficient IT
support for staff.
