BEING THERE These office environments all share one important feature – they’re a pleasure to work in day to day

Project 2 Graham St

Location: Auckland

Architect: JCY Architects

NZME interior: Telco Design

THE FACE OF CHANGE Dynamic glass facades and a soaring glass atrium make 2 Graham St a centre of attention – an ideal high-exposure address for media conglomerate NZME

Impacted by the internet and the digital world generally, media groups today are consolidating and reinventing themselves for a brave new world. Part of this is finding premises that bring divisions together for a focussed, integrated news presence. While 2 Graham St wasn’t actually built for principal tenant New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME) it did provide the ideal environment in which to merge the newspaper, radio, and digital media business. Designed by JCY Architects, with director Jason Gerrand as project director, and MCS as civil and structural engineer, the development consists of two new six-storey commercial office buildings

linked by an enclosed glass atrium. There is also a second atrium that floods natural light into the heart of one of the buildings. In addition, there’s a connecting podium and 240 carparks located in two levels of basement parking. Besides offering around 21,050m2 of office space, 2 Graham St animates the area at street level with retail along the edge of the longer building B. Further retail is on the side of the podium that steps down to Hardinge Street at the rear of the buildings. The contemporary, mixed use development boasts large floor plates of up to 3100m² per level and the two buildings’ significant size could have resulted in a monolithic presence.

INSTANT PRIVACY Open-plan and connected, the NZME fit-out still required visual and acoustic separation in two key areas – Trans-Space’s operable doors provided this

This page:Trans-Space proved acoustic and visual separation solutions for the ground floor meeting rooms in the NZME fit-out.

Even in an open-plan setting there are needs for privacy – the NZME fit-out was a case in point. Trans-Space coordinated with the architects for the acoustic separation of the ground-floor iHeart lounge and visual separation of an adjacent meeting room, says Trans-Space managing director Tim Gordon. “The acoustic separation was achieved by a solid, high-acoustic operable wall and the visual separation with a sliding and folding glass operable wall.” The frameless glass moveable wall was 3.8m high and 10m wide so individual panels were 3.8 x 1.2m – making each moveable panel very large. “We addressed this using through-fixed, 12mm toughened glass as opposed to the more common clamping – ensuring the glass will never drop.”

The solid moveable 4.1m-high wall required a Kvadrat Greenfield fabric finish and a minimum acoustic rating of STC 41. This was achieved by using the SpaceSeal 400 Series wall. “The Kvadrat fabric raised challenges in fabricating and handling such large panels. However, the install went seamlessly and the finish was perfect.” Trans-Space is an authorized distributor for the Dorma Hueppe range of Operable Walls.

SURFACE ATTRACTION The NZME fit-out at 2 Graham St makes the most of the dynamic architecture and its own bold signage while Resene surfaces provide the crisp backdrop The fit-out for media company NZME features colourful signage and branding at various points throughout. With so much being about the standout elements, the walls and ceilings had to provide a finely tuned backdrop for the interior design. Commercial interior design company Telco with Nicki Brady as lead project designer undertook the multi-level fit-out within the 2 Graham St buildings. “For this project, crispness and clarity were key, says Brady. “Resene Black White provides a clean, chalky white with a subtle undertone of grey. This offered a soft contrast to the Resene Nero, a strong

Project Havas fit-out

Location: Chicago, Illinois

Interior design Gary Lee Partners

A COMING TOGETHER This fit-out consolidates a Chicago advertising team studio space down from three floors to two, improving connectivity and, ironically, the sense of space

Left:The reinvented, down-sized offices of Havas in Chicago offer space, light and easy connection. Gary Lee Partners undertook the substantial studio upgrade. Right:An existing staircase was replaced with a more sculptural, contemporary version. A section of the floorplate was removed, further optimising lightness and interconnectivity. The glasswalled offices can achieve a degree of privacy by drawing closed the two-tone drapes. Following pages:A central ‘town hall’ space provides for gatherings large and small – rows of bleachers can be drawn out or retracted as required.

Downsizing a studio can have advantages from economy to connectivity. And pro-active interior design may actually enhance the sense of space even as the staff numbers stay the same and the square meterage drops. Such was the case with the transformative fit-out of advertising firm Havas Worldwide’s Chicago studio. Havas wanted to reduce the floor space for this agency and tasked Gary Lee Partners (GLP) with finding a solution. Design principal David Grout says that after assessing Havas’ real estate options at various buildings, GLP recommended staying in the current building, giving up a floor, and redesigning the studio’s floor plan and aesthetic. “The existing Havas studio had ranged over three floors and was outdated in terms of both looks and functionality,” says Grout. “Over 70 per cent of the existing spaces were devoted to individual offices and the central staircase had been an outmoded 1990s cable-and-tension design. There had also been an unsightly bridge running alongside.

“By removing all private offices from the studio perimeter and installing glass in all conference rooms, we were able to open up the Havas space and provide it with much-needed natural light. The transparent black-glass walls on the meeting rooms contributed to a new-found spaciousness. With only the original treads remaining, the interior designer completely reshaped the stairs as a bold, sculptural swirl. “This provides for impromptu staff interactions and offers an ‘event’ within the space. At the same time we removed the bridge and part of the floor to open up visual connections between the levels. “We also stripped out the ceilings and painted the exposed services black. As black recedes, this also added to the sense of volume.” With most offices gone, the new lower-level open floor plan is ideal for collaboration across departments and for impromptu meetings. GLP implemented a common “town hall” space for large, all-office gatherings. Innovative seating options,

such as the retractable bleachers incorporated into partitions, were installed for the extra seating

WONDER WALL This award-winning, high-profile showroom for a luxury European car retailer benefits from a giant curving glass wall precision crafted, by Glasshape

Showcasing luxury products like high-end vehicles requires premium display solutions and these award-winning premises are a case in point. Chow:Hill Architects was tasked with creating a dramatic retail precinct on an important corner site that is a gateway to Hamilton. The completed project won the Commercial Architecture Award in the 2016 Waikato-Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards. The Ebbett Audi and Volkswagen dealership displays vehicles in two dedicated showrooms separated by a plaza area with a café. Central to the design of the Audi show space is a giant, elegantly curving wall of glass created by commercial glass specialists Glasshape. This highprofile element draws the eye to the precinct from a distance and presents the prestige vehicles within the best possible light. Glasshape’s Richard Duckworth says the glass company was able to produce large 3m x 1.8m curved panes of 10mm TemperShield to achieve the architects’ desired outcome.

The competing projects are made up of the best developments within their respective categories and are rigorously assessed by a panel of judges, over a period spanning more than three months. This year the Health and Medical Property Award was launched, to pay tribute and recognise the intricacies of purpose-built facilities entered in this specialist area.

Project Whangarei Hospital’s new maternity building

Location: Whangarei

Construction Canam

HASSLE-FREE DELIVERY The growth of Whangarei Hospital to incorporate a new two-storey maternity wing was undertaken by Canam Construction, which also managed the many subcontractors

Some constructors bring much more to a job than their diverse skill sets, also project-managing the various other subcontractors involved. Such was the case with this vital public-sector project. For the multifaceted upgrade and expansion for Whangarei Hospital, Canam Construction hit the ground running. Tendered for and won in 2013, Canam’s initial piling works began in March 2014 and by February 2016 the job was completed. The project incorporated two major elements, says Canam’s managing director Loukas Petrou. “First, construction of a 2200m2 new maternity wing (Te Kotuku) – designed with the ability to have two additional floors added. One of these floors was approved to proceed during construction. “Second, the infrastructure project including the installation of new chillers, boilers, medical gases plant and associated pipework to feed both the new Maternity wing and ultimately connect to the existing hospital infrastructure. This work included

the seismic upgrade of the existing boiler house.” Canam engaged and worked closely with a number of local Northland subcontractors and suppliers to deliver the project. Together they provided valuable constructability input and advice to assist the design team with solutions that provided costand time-effective for the client. This included major input around the centralisation of the medical gases plant, and structural options for the additional floor which was instructed just as the 1st phase of the maternity project was near completion. The ward replaces 40-year-old existing facilities and includes six birthing rooms with ensuites, 18 in-patient beds, and four antenatal clinic rooms.

GREEN THINKING Sustainability is now integral to commercial design philosophy and Hideaway Bins make setting up for office recycling easy Above:Out of sight but not out of mind – with Hideaway Bins, recycling or rubbish disposal is just a quick slide away. Hideaway Bins glide quietly and smoothly out of sight on soft-close runners. There is a Hideaway Bin for every size and type of commercial environment where recycling and looking clean and tidy is important.

Over and above achieving a green rating for premises, just being seen to be proactive about the planet generally is a major positive for any company. Hideaway Bins offer a durable, discreet rubbish and recycling solution for the commercial setting – be it restaurants, offices, or any other environment where green thinking is important to your business, says company general manager Jamie Bertelsen. “The under-bench polypropylene Hideaway Bins are discreet and tucked away, the robust steel framework ensuring the bins live up to the demands of a commercial environment,” says Bertelsen. “Our single 50L bins offer a hassle-free way for employees to recycle in the workplace, while twin bins are great

for coffee stations or areas of limited space where recycling is still desirable.” Both options glide out of sight on soft-close tracks, optimising valuable floor space. A friction-fitted lid remains in the carcass when the bins are opened but seals down over the bins when the unit is closed – locking in odours. An anti-bacterial powdercoating ensures the bins are hygienic and free of germs. For further information, contact Hideaway Bins, (09) 426 7456, website: www.hideawaybins.co.nz

Project Te Puni Kokiri House

Location: Wellington

CHANGE OF HEART Already boasting a 5 Green Star status, Te Puni Kokiri House is now a high-performance green building on the inside too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; attracting a comprehensive NABERSNZ energy rating

There is green, then there’s comprehensively green. Revisiting a sustainably in-tune building with a modernising, green-focussed interior not only

Facing page:The interiors of Te Puni Kokiri House in Wellington are now as green as the 5 Green Star building itself. The refit has earned a high 4.5 NABERSNZ energy performance rating, based solely on energy consumption.

adds to its credentials, it also makes it an extremely attractive building for tenants to occupy. A multi-million dollar improvement in value, and a staggering 30% reduction in energy use, recently saw an historic Wellington office landmark – Te Puni Kokiri House – take out a major prize in New Zealand’s EECA energy awards. Te Puni Kokiri is a public service department that leads Maori Public Policy and advises on policy affecting Maori wellbeing. It is the principal advisor on Government-Maori relationships. In 2013, Te Puni Kokiri House received a 4 star NABERSNZ energy performance rating and has continued to improve its energy performance even further to achieve a 4.5 NABERSNZ energy efficiency rating in 2016. The building already had a 5 Green Star Built rating. The Green Star rating tool is used during design and construction, to assess the environmental aspects of buildings. However, NABERSNZ looks solely at energy performance, and is used once buildings are occupied and operating for a year or more. Te Puni Kokiri House, located at 143 Lambton Quay in Wellington, was the overall winner of the Opus International Consultants Public Sector award at the annual EECA Awards, and received a highly commended in the Smart Energy Solutions Small to Medium Energy User category. The historic building’s win demonstrates that even New Zealand’s oldest heritage buildings can get a new lease of life and be transformed into high performing green buildings, when comprehensive energy efficiency ratings are used. The recent upgrade to a 4.5 NABERSNZ energy rating puts Te Puni Kokiri House in a unique position in the commercial property landscape. With partner Argosy Property, Te Puni Kokiri House underwent a major internal retrofit, which resulted in the 30% reduction in energy use. Highlights of the super-green retrofit included

the value of the building – improved by $7 million; $80,000 worth of energy savings going back into the public purse each year – as all eleven floors are occupied by Te Puni Kokiri; and energy audits before and after refurbishment showed energy use had reduced from 205 kilowatt-hours of energy per m2 annually to 138 kilowatt-hours. In addition, Te Puni Kokiri House was the first building in New Zealand to use electro-commutated fan coil units, which improve control of air conditioning. 90% of the project’s construction waste was re-used or recycled, and water use has been reduced by 29%. NABERSNZ ratings are fast-becoming the industry barometer for commercial office buildings to measure and improve their energy efficiency. Landlords are getting NABERSNZ ratings to improve their building values and attract high quality tenants, and at the same time tenants are seeking out more efficient, attractive, and costeffective premises to occupy. Demonstrating the growing influence of innovative and effective sustainability measures in the commercial property sector, several NZ Green Building Council members were also finalists in the EECA Awards. Laminex NZ received a commended in the University of Waikato Innovation category and the Trustpower Renewable Energy category; Ceres Organics won the Smart Energy Solutions Small to Medium Energy User Award; Christchurch City Council was commended in the Opus Public Sector award; and Victoria University’s Victoria Energy initiative received a highly commended in the Fujitsu General NZ Community award. NZGBC member Panuku Development Auckland saw its sustainability manager, Viv Heslop, win the Vector Energy Leadership Award.

Everyone loves a good performer To deliver optimal experience for tenants as well as optimal returns for owners, a building should run efficiently. But how well does your building perform compared to the wider market? A NABERSNZTM rating is a clear, understandable benchmark that shows how energy efficient a building is on a scale of 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 6 stars. You can choose to publicise it, or use it internally as a baseline to improve.

www.nabersnz.govt.nz NABERSTM and NABERSNZTM are owned by the New South Wales Government through the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECATM) is the licensee of NABERSNZ in New Zealand. NABERSNZ is administered by the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC).

In terms of look and feel, the church wanted a home-meet-school concept to make the children feel secure and comfortable. Elliott says this was achieved in two ways. “One was ensuring everything was on a human not institutional scale. To this end, the classroom building has the look of separate buildings, achieved by a segmented louvre facade. Similarly, toilets are

single rather than in blocks, and even the shade sails were designed on a relatively modest scale.” The other design approach to contribute to this feel included the specification of residential-type materials like schist accents and the reduction of elements like pinboards in the classrooms. Working with limited space, the classrooms were built over the existing carpark, now laid with Astroturf. The sheltered space is used for churchgoers’ cars on Sundays and for sport in the week.

Project Hopetoun Residences

Architect: Paul Brown Architects

BORN AGAIN Once a tired office building, Hopetoun Residences presents a shining example of adaptive reuse – units with broad decks and open interiors are the result

These pages:The hexagonal 1980s Chase Building office tower was ideal for the addition of decks as part of its transformation into the owneroccupied Hopetoun Residences.

Before

The greenest house is the one already built – a popular maxim that applies equally well to an entire building. And the adaptive reuse of a 1980s office tower to create Hopetoun Residences brought many advantages besides respect for the planet. David Mahoney, chief executive officer at developer Tawera Group, says there were several advantages to reinventing the office tower as contemporary apartments rather than starting again. “The in-ground costs of a new building can be prohibitive – if you do your homework right and choose a building with sound foundations and services, costs are brought down considerably. “With Hopetoun, another advantage was aiming the apartments at owner-occupiers, over investors. Someone who intends to live in a unit rather than look for an optimum return cares more about the quality, space, views – everything Hopetoun offers.” Hopetoun offered a head start in these areas.

Architects with Andrew Smith as project architect. “From a design perspective the monolithic, octagonal building has been transformed. The tower footprint wasn’t that large so we were able to add large decks, particularly to the North, and enhance the favourable views and aspect. “The decks created the main design effect – their angular forms appear to float around the structure while maintaining the building’s strong core form.” The broad podium provides for additional owner storage space at the core and an existing tennis court was raised to add more car parks.” While the building had great bones, a floor level had dipped which led to the reinforcement of the four core columns by wrapping them in carbon fibre. The increased strength also allowed for the addition of two extra storeys. These banish the tower’s originally rather squat appearance, replacing it with a taller, more elegant presence. The existing curtain wall glazing was removed entirely and replaced with double-glazed aluminium joinery and an insulated cavity framed external wall.

BEST DRESSED Repurposed from out-moded office block to luxury apartment tower, Hopetoun Residences features James Hardie’s ExoTec® Facade Panel While the expansive decks are a key feature on the transformed Hopetoun Residences, so too is the sleek new facade panelling. The building was reinvented by Paul Brown Architects for Tawera Group, one of this country’s leading boutique apartment developers, with Summit Construction as the builder. Tawera wanted a high-quality, cost-effective finish for the tower. James Hardie’s ExoTec Facade panel was specified to provide a highly durable, expressjointed panel look.

This is Putney Hill, a new kind of lifestyle option just When developers Frasers Property held a competition for the design of the masterplanned development for Putney Hill, Cox Richardson Architects pitched, and won. The company’s broad vision was for apartments, terraced homes, freestanding residences and semi-detached houses, all focussed around a large central park. Over 50% of the design was to be dedicated to green spaces.

It not only provides the residents of Putney and Ryde with a new 2.4ha green open space for relaxation and enjoyment, but also has environmental benefit for the community.
