A fabric importer has relocated to a 1960s warehouse in Auckland’s city fringe.

A tensioned steel lintel is suspended over a line of operable glass panels, providing a division of space between office and warehouse environments. The volume of the space is contrasted with fine rosewood beading, brass fixtures and bespoke steel and timber benches. The importer’s resonant mix of loose textile rolls, furniture and contemporary New Zealand art inhabit the result.
