Kenehi on Bryce

2017

Typology: Office Fitout
Completion: 2017
Location: Hamilton Central
Contractor: Foster Construction
Photographer: Simon Wilson

Kenehi on Bryce came about from a desire to house Genesis Energy’s 500+ staff under one roof in a dynamic new work environment. The fitout is broken up over three floors linked through a central atrium. A cafeteria and covered outdoor room on level one opens up over the city’s green belt – a space integral to initiating community within the business. The materials selected respond to the natural environment that Genesis’ generation assets encompass. This creates a personable sense of place connecting Kenehi on Bryce with the Waikato, and greater New Zealand, context.

Inside, it becomes clear that circulation, control of light and the needs of users have been the architect’s primary considerations.
