When David Flack launched his eponymous studio in late 2014 he also introduced the world to some new words. ‘Flackify’, according to the Melbourne-based interior designer, is a verb he uses – meaning ‘to transform a space into an experience’. And if there’s anyone who knows a thing or two about that, it’s Flack, who’s quickly built a reputation for delivering high- end hospitality, retail and residential projects of strikingly lush colour and strong materiality. “We’re not serving up beige spaces,” he says. “It’s about challenging myself and the client and also challenging people in general about what design actually is.” Flack approaches every project in the same way to maintain consistent rigour across each of the studio’s portfolios. His ‘Flacktastic’ process can be broken down into four different stages…

The robots are among us – and we had better get used to it. That was the message at the 2017 CoreNet Symposium, held in Auckland’s Shed 10 on 18 May. The topic this year was ‘Humanity and the Machine: Where are we going?’, and the speakers wowed delegates with information about technology and how it relates to the workforce, namely who or what we can expect to be working with in the very near future. The event included talks by László Varga (Stanford University), Per Håkansson (Makerminds, Inc), Chris Lunny and John Tenanes (Facebook), Dr Barbara Bollard-Breen (AUT), and Top 100 Business Thought Leader John Spence, as well as a panel discussion led by Sacha McNeil. For an in-depth review of the event, see page 108.…

“TIMBERS on acid” is how Rachel O’Malley and Mike Petre describe the restaurant and brewery they designed in Matakana. And that, it is. Its interior includes, among several others: Old Man Pine, Birch, Japanese Cedar, Totara, Macrocarpa, Beech, and Pohutukawa. They are all used in a variety of ways ranging from furniture and structural through to cladding and finishes. In many instances, saw marks are visible on the surfaces as a sort of physical representation of the name of the beer brewed here (Sawmill). On others, there are stains and accidental patinas. What is clear, however, is that the natural material is a perfect complement to the ethos behind this eatery and its food. According to O’Malley, the idea was to have a space that is relaxed and natural but…

“What might once have been an experience reserved for partners of the firm is now accessible to all.” A LIBRARY room of precious, antique legal tomes in Russell McVeagh’s new internal workspace, is where the privileged few bright young lawyers who’ve made it into the fold can experience the history and prestige of one of New Zealand’s oldest and most well-known legal firms. What might once have been an experience reserved for partners of the firm is now accessible to all – a key revision in the reimagining of both the brand and its employee’s workspace. The jewel in the crown of Auckland’s Vero Centre, Russell McVeagh teamed up with Warren and Mahoney (WaM) to transition their internal office space into an open, collaborative environment. Globally, legal firms’ move into…

PROJECT MORPHOSIS OF SOCIAL CONSCIENCE INSTITUTION UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND AN AMBITIOUS, EXPLORATORY PROGRAMME THAT PUSHES BOUNDARIES AND SHOWS INVENTIVENESS AND ORIGINALITY INSTITUTION UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND STUDENT NAME ELLIOTT MORGAN PROJECT MORPHOSIS OF SOCIAL CONSCIENCE DESIGN TEAM (TUTORS, STUDENTS) DR SAROSH MULLA (SUPERVISOR) PHOTOGRAPHY ELLIOTT MORGAN & MARK SMITH JURY COMMENT This project explored emotional ill- health, and its experimental quality combines a profound concern with the human condition and the possibilities of new technology. The design, although not without areas for critique, is the result of an ambitious, exploratory programme that pushes boundaries and shows inventiveness and originality. It demonstrates what is desirable in student work: an ambition to use design to create innovative, humane solutions to the problems of the world, beyond the pragmatics of the quotidian.…

ANDY SPAIN Photographer Andy is an architectural photographer and filmmaker based in Wellington. His UnseenNZ series is featured on pages 102-107. WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO GO LOOKING FOR QUIRKY INTERIORS FOR UNSEENNZ? On moving to New Zealand in 2015 (from London) my commercial photography work was a bit thin. I was in the Tararua Tramping Club in Wellington watching a children’s theatre group with my kids, when I looked around the space and thought, what a fantastic interior that says so much about New Zealand culture, so I arranged to photograph it. From there it became quite organic and based on word of mouth (and I’d be grateful for more suggestions!). WHAT HAVE BEEN SOME MEMORABLE ONES? I have just photographed a building that was the Karitane baby food factory in…

FOR SOME in the building industry, the image of the architect is one who sketches out a building, then sends it out into the world to be realised, without much thought for how this might happen. Dave Strachan is turning this idea on its head with his own team at Strachan Group Architects (SGA), via the creation of his new offices, which combine architecture office with workshop, landscaping and fabrication businesses – all in one cohesive home. For Strachan, the realisation of this building is something of a dream come true. He and his wife bought the plot of the land it stands on some years before, with the hope of creating an office to house his growing architecture firm, and also the work of his three sons, who are…

With its rustic wood finish and local flavour, the Paddle Stool by ÃKAU was an apt choice for casual seating in the Sawmill Brewery & Smoko Room. Born out of a workshop by Far North design and architecture company ÃKAU, the stool is based on the traditional hoe, or paddle, used on waka. “We are a design and architecture company, but we’re also a social enterprise with a charitable trust,” explains co-founder Ana Heremia. “We run youth programmes and get young people involved in the design of projects in the community. We ran some workshops where youth came up with concepts for the design of a stool. Jayden Ruru had recently been on a waka and was inspired by the paddle, so the legs of the stool derived from his…

Welcome to the Interior Awards 2017 coverage and announcement of the winners. This year has been a wild ride through some of the most inspiring interiors being created across the country and the people who made them happen. The word ‘heritage’ seems to be high on everyone’s agenda with the dialogue between the old and the new becoming more intricate and nuanced. Small Workplace and the Installation categories gave the judges some of the best and most hotly-debated projects. There is an undeniable sense of optimism in the industry and nowhere is it more clear than in the fact that architecture and design firms are expanding and redefining their own workplaces into fantastic examples of their design ethos. This year’s awards received an unprecedented number of entries for architects’ own…

“New tools are navigating us to be global beings, online we are can be ranked not by our passport but by who we are.” Per Hakansson, Makerminds Shed 10 was perhaps not the best place to be located on what felt like Auckland’s windiest day of the year, but the speakers at this year’s CoreNet Symposium, with their mind-blowing facts and figures about the robotic future we are heading for, mostly drowned out the creeks and bangs of the building’s movements during the gale. The morning began with architect, urbanist and entrepreneur László Varga from Stanford University, who spoke about the human element of digitalisation. He showed how you can use data from internet users to determine what people want from their real estate, and how this can help to…

What I am reading: The Case for Creativity by James Hurman. This book is literally just too ‘on the mark’. James (a Kiwi!) explores the relationship between imagination and effectiveness in advertising projects – with the outcome that wild creativity sells hard. Having just come out of a white tile epidemic, this has been the perfect motivational kick for me to push beyond the bore, keeping tight focus on unique and remarkable ideas. What I’m not reading: Less and More by Dieter Rams. Minimalism is the absolute drain of life. Even the cover sucks my soul dry. What space I’m loving: Michael Parekowhai’s Lighthouse on Auckland’s waterfront. Nat Cheshire fluffled the hairs on my neck real good with his Urbis review of it, adding a deep and haunting human narrative to the visual spectacular. Every morning,…

The initial construction of the SGA studio began with a concrete, steel and timber-framed shell, which was skinned in structural plywood, then fitted with a façade of rain screening and concrete. The plywood continues through the interior in a seamless manner, with custom-designed and in-house built Birch plywood cabinetry and panelling that spans across the walls and ceiling. The fit-out was modelled with 3D software and, where necessary, sent to CNC cutters to be cut and bent into shape. The pre-cut components were then brought back to the studio and assembled on site by the SGA team, along with builders from Crate Innovation. Instead of requiring welded connections, the fabrication methods meant that most of the building could be done with minimal tools, using tab-and-slot assembly. Holes were pre-drilled in…

DESIGN PRACTICE STRACHAN GROUP ARCHITECTS LOCATION KINGSL AND, AUCKLAND PROJECT SGA STUDIO AND WORKSHOP KINGSLAND, AUCKLAND CLIENT STRACHAN GROUP ARCHITECTS SGALTD.CO.NZ DESIGN PRACTICE STRACHAN GROUP ARCHITECTS KINGSLAND, AUCKLAND SGALTD.CO.NZ DESIGN TEAM DAVE STRACHAN, BRAD PEARLESS & SGA TEAM PHOTOGRAPHY SIMON DEVITT EQUAL PARTS CELEBRATION OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND AN IMPRESSIVE BUSINESS CARD FOR THE CRAFT OF ITS INHABITANTS JURY COMMENT This is a seamless integration of a company’s ethos and culture into the interior of its own workplace. The new build is a multi-disciplinary hub for architects, landscape architects, builders and joiners and, therefore, its eventual occupants carried out the majority of its design and build. The result is a deliberately restrained design with a residential ambience that is sympathetic to both its site and the firm’s oeuvre of…
