Projects

Catalyst was engaged by Waka Kotahi to refit their offices located in the Aon Tower in downtown Auckland. The priority was to create a seamless transition between the old tenancy and the new tenancy on the same floor, while also meeting the client's requirements for quieter spaces and collaboration areas. 

In 2016, the Kaikoura Earthquake forced Crombie Lockwood out of their office space, leaving them in a temporary workspace. However, they wanted to make this space their permanent workplace.

The concept behind this project is centered around the journey of a diverse group of Pacific Island peoples coming together and incorporating their unique values from the islands into the landscape of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Catalyst was engaged to design new office buildings for tenants, the Ministry of Social Development and Oranga Tamariki, in Te Awamutu

The Ministry of Social Development building is a modern office space located in the heart of Napier, with an eye-catching location visible from the town centre. It will be occupied by Oranga Tamariki and Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities, and will span three levels, with dedicated car parking available on the ground floor and basement.

Rathkeale College's auditorium was closed in May 2019 due to its classification as earthquake-prone after an initial seismic assessment. Catalyst was brought on board as project managers and architects to lead the effort to reopen the auditorium as soon as possible while keeping the administration end of the building operational.
