The Design Team is also complimented with a number of in house Project Managers, capable of managing your project from initial concepts to full site supervision and construction to completion.

All this experience, knowledge and creativity enable the Design Team to function effectively and efficiently whether they are developing a new scheme, or modifying an existing site.

We understand that each project has different requirements and as such we can vary our level of service to you accordingly, from wide ranging kitchen operations to full interior and brand / concept design. Our design documentation in both 2D and 3D CAD format allows a seamless coordination process with Architects, Interior Designers and other consultants. The level of documentation can be developed to include full interior detailing and specifications to allow competitive tendering for sub contractors, Building Consent applications and construction. The Design Team can produce presentations, ranging from 2D scaled layouts to a full 3D CAD visuals and ‘walk-through’ models with each component specified.

From the initial brief to concept design, design development & full documentation package, fixed price quotation and implementation. We can also offer full training at handover and ongoing scheduled maintenance support. The earlier we can be involved in the project, the more value we can add in terms of design expertise, equipment specification & product compatibility.

We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your project further & confirm our commitment to a successful partnership. This Portfolio presents examples of successfully completed projects in a wide variety of environments for your further consideration.

Portfolio

Britomart Country Club

The Britomart Country Club in downtown Auckland has its entire operation of kitchen, bars, storage & toilet facilities housed in shipping containers, which also act as the perimeter wall. With the entire area covered with lightweight steel structures & awnings, the outdoor feel combined with heating, lighting & music allows an all year round alfresco venue. The clever use of the shipping containers proves how versatile these units are for modular & mobile hospitality use. Click here to see more of our innovative Shipping Container projects.

Mozaik Coffee

Designed for the corporate lunch–in crowd mozaik is a contemporary café & restaurant with a flexible space to accommodate every occasion from a coffee break, to a meeting for two, to conferences, and is fully equipped for online application & visual presentations.

University of Canterbury

Students can not only benefit from their newly refurbished student hall at the University of Canterbury but they can enjoy being in it too. Taking the retro out of the hall was going to be difficult so working within the original design we drew from the past to create a modern & fun take on retro.

Nando’s Restaurants

Designing restaurants for a franchise can be simple with a cookie cutter approach but with Nando’s Restaurants each has a distinctive design scheme & needs individual attention. Drawing on New Zealand culture while preserving Nando’s South African roots has proven successful in the design of many Nando’s restaurants throughout New Zealand.

RNZAF Bases

Breathing new life into the dining areas, we have broken the formality of straight counter runs offering an informal arrangement of food court style service points. At three main bases across both North & South Islands the new style of food presentation is proving extremely popular allowing the high volume numbers to flow through for three meals a day seven days a week.

Wellington International Airport

Replacing the main food and drink facilities at Wellington International Airport whilst still allowing the high numbers of daily passengers to be serviced, has been achieved by fast track programs in phase stages & off site pre–manufactured joinery. This has resulted in a modern world class facility in time for the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

Auckland Zoo

Using environmentally friendly products and materials Auckland Zoo’s many food venues were transformed by a fast track program allowing the new facility to be up and running for the busy summer season. The design developed from a team approach incorporating the needs of high volume & wide ranging customers & events along with specific Zoo values.
