Catalyst was assigned with the mission to design the best office space in Auckland, one that exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere. We were instrumental in making crucial decisions such as selecting the building to move to and creating high-level concept designs for all three options. Ultimately, the Australis Nathan building in the highly sought-after Britomart area emerged as the clear winner.

Ever imagined that a brewery could be your next office space? Global leader in smart meter technology, EDMI, needed a fresh workspace that matched their high-tech needs. The building at 100 Taranaki Street/1 Ghuznee Street, once a bar, restaurant, and brewery, presented a unique challenge for transforming it into a modern office. Catalyst preserved the building's distinctive character while creating a functional and inspiring office environment that aligned with EDMI's brand.
