Commercial and hospitality

Before concentrating on residential work, we spent a good part of our time on hospitality interiors: bars, restaurants and function spaces, working in conjunction with architects and other design companies.

The scope was full. Documentation, joinery detailing, lighting design and furniture specification, and on some projects the brand expression as well. Several were delivered inside older buildings undergoing earthquake strengthening, which is a particular kind of puzzle: keeping what makes a building worth saving while making it work as a modern venue.

We are focused on residential and development work now, but this is where a lot of our range comes from, and we are still proud of it.

An orange Kombi van parked inside the venue below an illuminated "On Air" sign, with festoon lighting and timber floors around it.
