Catalyst Takes Home Excellence at the 2022 Property Council New Zealand Awards
You only have to glance at the directory board in the lobby at 22 The Terrace to realise you’re in a very special green building - Simply put, the transformation of an existing 1980s commercial office block building is truly an efficient, sustainable 5 Greenstar showpiece.
Catalyst is delighted to have received not one, but TWO Excellence Awards alongside Stride Property, taking out the Green Building Property Award as well as the Commercial Office Property Award for 22 The Terrace.
Catalyst set out to give the office a sense of character and a deeper connection to the wine industry using rich detail and storytelling in every aspect of the design. The Head Office’s award-winning design is contemporary, blending functionality with form as a home to showcase products, serve as a hub for new ideas to develop and as a home to more than 80 staff.
The brief for a modern workspace was highlighted by key features that pulled influence from winemaker’s notes - namely elegance and maturity. The combination of a living moss wall, natural timber screening, barrel ceiling and copper light accents mirror the aesthetic of an iconic and premium New Zealand winery.
Based in Westgate Town Centre, the new headquarters moves the brand closer to its customers, its suppliers and even more importantly, back to its West Auckland roots. Delivering the perfect balance of past, present and future, the multi-dimensional space called for a highly attentive design focusing on the finer details as part of the wider vision.
