The fit out for a private office in a newly built shell in Auckland’s Victoria Precinct was an opportunity to create a relaxed environment that removed the formality and conventional nature inherent to most office interiors.

The rejection of closed cells and clear divisions between front of house and private offices meant notions of rhythm and transition could be explored without sacrificing the functionality and order of these spaces.

Natural materials were chosen, such as concrete steel and timber, complimented by custom crafted furniture to create an artisanal and warm environment, deconstructing traditional perceptions of office space.

What a contrast with this :http://www.archdaily.com/82516/noahs-house-visiondivision/

So tough and hard-edged. It’s like fearonhay weren’t loved enough as children.

I am sorry but it does not feel warm at all to me. Hard edged and not very “natural” without windows and curves. I appreciate this is a shell, but some warmth is need to make this an inviting workplace.
