Auckland Council
Aligning with future ways of working.
Location: Auckland | Size: 2,500m²
Following a comprehensive six-month refurbishment programme, the iconic Henderson Civic building has reopened its doors to staff and the public. The 2500m2 facility is a core space for Tāmaki Makaurau’s community and is home to Auckland Council, Henderson Customer Service Centre, Henderson-Massey Local Board and Te Kawerau a Maki.
The building lies at the heart of the community and provides a space for people to connect, meet, and celebrate – with the premises also open to the public for ceremonies, meetings and functions.
Aspect was engaged to assist Auckland Council on their WorkSmart initiative, a programme designed to align the Council’s future ways of working and workplaces to suit the evolving context in which the Council operates. It supports their people to work in more efficient and effective ways from a modern network of spaces and furniture across Tāmaki Makaurau.
Alongside 4Work, Aspect collaborated with the client to deliver the project within a 10-week time frame. Aspect supplied a range of high-performing and flexible furniture solutions to meet the brief. This included workstations, meeting pods, phone booths and a number of collaborative seating arrangements.
Collaborative hubs are formed by Hive and Thynk seating. Circular Hive pods accommodate larger gatherings and presentations while Thynk meeting booths offer an area for more intimate or private discussion.
Activate electric workpoints and desk accessories provide focused working areas, with market-leading sit-to-stand technology and mobile app capability ensuring the system is flexible and designed to last.
Our innovative Studio Pod range provides modular meeting spaces with integrated technology. Studio Pod phonebooths offer individuals a secure space to make confidential phone calls without distraction to or from the surrounding work environment.
