Retail Project 2016

	NATIONAL CATEGORY WINNER GOLD AWARD WINNER Project Ebbett Audi Volkswagen, Hamilton Entrant Livingstone Building NZ (Construction Company/ Quantity Surveyor) and Chow:Hill (Architect/Designer) Joint Venture Owned by Tolian Properties Designed to be a gateway for this prominent location the double-height showrooms with floor-to-ceiling glazing invite a welcome display of client’s products while also creating transparency along with a point of interest for pedestrians and motorists. Judges Comments The development of the new facilities in Hamilton East comprises two showrooms, together with workshop spaces and a public café. The complexity of the design required the Contractor to be very accurate horizontally and vertically, as the parabolic wall curves, floor tiles and ceiling grids all met at critical junction points.

The completed facilities have exceeded the client’s expectations both in design, functionality and build quality.
