After losing the iconic Strategy Building to the Feb 22nd earthquake, our Christchurch studio found a new home at the historic Grosvenor Hotel. The 1877 heritage building had undergone full strengthening and was waiting for an internal fit-out. Inspired by Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian design, we opted for a stripped back but warm aesthetic. The industrial-style interior is softened with plenty of natural wood, while large desks and open meeting places foster a sense of collaboration and creative energy.
