202 Ponsonby Rd, Auckland

CLIENT:

Mansons TCLM Ltd 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The design for the upgrade of the existing building at 202 Ponsonby Rd was a full strip back, structural upgrade and spatial re-organisation of the office floors into three levels accessed via a new entrance into the central core off the building right of way access off Ponsonby Rd.

The existing buildings active edge interface with Ponsonby road and its immediate footpath required significant improvement.  The multiple steps to the raised retail space and offices behind and a later additional winding accessible ramp were all removed and a retail spaced formed level with the footpath provides a 4.8 m stud, full height retail spaces, with high visibility along Ponsonby Rd and approaching the building from Franklin Rd.

The existing at grade carpark to the west was excavated to provide two levels of car parking.  A substantial deck full width of the top L2 is linked to the new carpark structure, providing the upper L2 tenancy with an outdoor space to enjoy the extensive westerly views out over the Waitemata harbour inlet and beyond the Waitakare’s.

The Building Services was designed to suit office and hospitality tenants.  Agile also carried out an integrated fitout design for the office and retail tenants.
