We're excited to reveal the latest healthcare edition to hit the shores of Te Atatū Peninsula. Introducing, Te Atatū Health, a community focussed medical clinic with a holistic approach to healthcare.

It is always an honour to work with a client that is willing to push convention, it's not always easy and does take a lot of work but we think the results are well worth it in the end!

Thanks to the client Te Atatū Health, the construction team Olley Construction and all others who helped bring this project to life.

We always enjoy working with the guys at Motion Sickness and we were fortunate enough to design their new office space, right next door to us, at The Aviary on Cross Street. Bringing elements of their old studio across and contextualizing the space to the new k road location, we were able to create an environment that allows for their continuous growth and office culture to flourish.

Cheers MS for the snaps.
