Projects

Occupying the historic former BNZ headquarters at 125 Queen Street, Kernel's new workplace represents the convergence of New Zealand's financial past and future. For a progressive fintech and wealth management company reshaping the way New Zealanders invest, the opportunity to establish its home within one of the country's most significant financial landmarks was both symbolic and compelling.

Catalyst was engaged by Precinct Properties to deliver a 1,000sqm workplace for NTT DATA at Level 18, 157 Lambton Quay. The project involved consolidating NTT DATA’s operations from two floors into a single, cohesive workspace designed to enhance collaboration and improve efficiency.

Catalyst is proud to have partnered with a commercial landlord in Auckland to reposition over 1,220m² of office space by creating five boutique workplace suites tailored to current tenant demand.

A 5,000m² purpose-built workplace uniting three existing offices into one central location. Rooted in Māori heritage and guided by sustainable, innovative design principles, the building stands as a forward-looking landmark for the Dunedin community.

Combining industrial elements with brass accents and luxury finishes, the space strikes a balance between boldness and warmth. A versatile kitchen area anchors the design, ready to accommodate business functions with style.

Working closely with the clients of O-Studio Wellington, the brief was to create a calm, welcoming environment that supports wellbeing, movement, and connection, while also reflecting the studio’s brand and values. The space needed to feel restorative and inclusive, balancing functionality with a strong sense of warmth and care.

Catalyst was engaged by a market-leading software and technology business to revitalise an existing floor within their tower office, with a key goal: to create an inviting, functional space that would support a return-to-office culture.

Austen & Blake, a boutique jeweler expanding into New Zealand, has entrusted Catalyst as their Design and Build partner to streamline design, project management, and construction into a seamless process, perfectly aligning with their vision.

Catalyst were engaged as design and build consultants for their Beaumont St, Auckland location. This would be the second major office project Catalyst would deliver for Crombie Lockwood (now Gallagher Insurance), the first being in Wellington, and smaller works in Whangarei and West Auckland.
