Norman_Disney_and_Young_Offices

Project Size: 500m²

Project Value: NZ$0.75 Million

Location: 1-3 Terrace, Wellington, New Zealand


The fit out for NDY in Wellington takes advantage of the generous ceiling height within a new office development to create an exciting work environment.

Existing exposed raw concrete surfaces and overhead timber plank infill flooring combine with new expressed structural steel, solid timber floors, new feature painted walls, exposed services and feature lighting to create a visually dynamic office space.

A long spanning solid timber floor in conjunction with exposed services have allowed for optimal utilization of the available space with the insertion of a new mezzanine floor providing an overall increase in the available office floor area. This approach created an additional 500m² of useable floor space for the building owner including a 90m² retail space frontage on to The Terrace, now occupied by a Wishbone Café food outlet.

Being able to expose the building services was an excellent opportunity for a leading edge services consultancy to make use of new technologies which included the first use of a passive chilled beam cooling system in Wellington, as well as some smart new light fittings including coloured LED lighting that can be changed to suit the mood of the office.
