RCP Auckland were appointed in June 2007 by IAG NZ as Tenant’s Representative for their new building within Auckland City’s Viaduct Harbour. The NZI Centre achieved Practical Completion on 29 May 2009.
The building was officially opened by New Zealand’s Prime Minister, Mr John Key on 27 August 2009 and at the same time it was formally announced that IAG had achieved New Zealand’s first interior design green rating for the building. A “5 Star Green Star – NZ Interiors 2009 Pilot” was awarded along with the highest score recognised to date by the NZ Green Building Council.
The building is an example of true integration in the relationship between the developer’s “base building” design and the tenant’s alterations to further suit it’s requirements. Some of the building features include a green roof garden and entertainment area with rainwater collected from the roof used to flush toilets within the building. The north façade has a triple glazed twin skin system which utilises an automated blind system which reacts to sunlight levels and in turn influences the control of the air conditioning system. All services on the top four floors are contained within a 450mm raised flooring system.
The level of detail and consideration that has gone into the design and management of this building is a true reflection of the quality finish now evident.
