PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Coming from a relatively ‘old fashioned’ work space, Maori TV wanted to create a fun and stimulating modern office facility for their staff with a combination of Maori culture and contemporary design being integrated with the lighting;
The client brief which was further developed by the project team included:
_Be a space that the Maori TV staff and visitors wanted to visit that was visually enticing and interesting with technically excellent visual conditions;
_Lighting selection was to match the ‘mood’ of the respective spaces;
_Lighting was to be suitable in aesthetic, not flashy or over powering;
_Incorporate suitable Maori cultural concepts wherever practical;
_Incorporate Maori where possible e.g. three baskets of knowledge;
_Incorporate suitable Maori TV branding images into luminaires wherever practical;
_Minimize on-going running and maintenance costs;
Fitout consisted of open plan offices, studios, controls rooms, phone booths, computer apparatus room and staff breakout spaces on each floor;
Floor area: 4,500 sqm fitout;
