Description:

Located in the bustling Industrial Business Hub of Onehunga, Auckland, this remarkable workplace is the proud home of two sister construction firms dedicated to delivering exceptional quality in the residential and commercial sectors.

As the group embarked on a relocation journey to accommodate their expanding operations, they joined forces with Cachet Group to create a workplace design that breaks free from the confines of traditional office design.

Drawing inspiration from the brand's strong presence in both the residential and commercial construction industry and the remarkable architectural features of the building, such as the striking black grid ceiling, the design concept was born.

Moody, elusive, sophisticated and timeless, the design achieves this through the skillful use of black grooved paneling, warm walnut timbers, ambient lighting, and impeccably crafted joinery units embellished with brass accents. Each key area pays homage to these elements, starting right from the entrance area.

Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a floor-to-ceiling custom joinery unit adorned with artwork, elegantly illuminated by feature lighting. A cozy lounge area is situated around the corner, complete with a kitchenette inspired by a whiskey bar and softly lit by recessed ambient lights, drawing them in. The arrival space is thoughtfully designed with expansive black grooved paneling allowing for ample space for client hosting but also concealing three discreet doorways that invite exploration further inside. Behind these doors are dedicated workspaces and meeting rooms featuring walnut timber joinery, live plants, and more captivating lighting that harmonizes with the overall concept.

Upstairs, a spacious breakout area takes center stage. With its lofty ceilings, this space presented the perfect opportunity for Cachet to fully embody the client's identity. A custom feature panel with brass finishes adorns the tall wall, complemented by tan leather banquet seating and stone tables that mirror the kitchen island.

The project cleverly plays with the concept of moodiness, sophistication, and intrigue. Every element, meticulously chosen and expertly crafted, embodies the client's identity and values. The design displays originality and critical reasoning by breaking away from traditional office norms and introducing a unique residential atmosphere that harmonises with the client's industry.

The workplace emerges as a haven of unrivaled beauty and sophistication. Every detail stands as a testament to the boundless potential of design in transforming spaces into breathtaking experiences.
