It’s not often that a client has a vision for the kind of project that kids dream about and adults covet. Set among mature redwoods in the Waikato, the 14.5 m–high Treehouse responds to its site with a bold structural and architectural gesture.

The combination of technical innovation, materiality and finish was recognised at the Master Joiners 2025 awards, where the project took the Supreme Award as well as Best Creative Use of Timber and Best Timber Project. 

The material palette for The Greenhouse is drawn from nature, producing a distinctly New Zealand balance of moody depth and clear light. Named for its 150,000 iridescent, green glazed handmade bricks from Italy’s Sant’Anselmo and inspired by the landscapes of Tāmaki Makaurau, the building uses materiality to anchor its concept. The Ockham Residential team calls it “a once in a lifetime project.”

The Nathan Residences at The Foundation, the first stage of Generus Living Group’s new high-end retirement village, was completed in 2024.

Having only just been completed, 30 Daldy Street establishes a new benchmark in sustainable commercial design. The building has achieved the highest 6 Star Green Star rating and exemplifies world leading practices in sustainability and workplace wellness.

A landmark on Auckland’s waterfront in Wynyard Quarter, the project opened in November 2025 and houses one of New Zealand’s leading telecommunications companies. 

After the magnitude 6.3 earthquake that devastated Christchurch in February 2011, the city began a long process of physical and emotional recovery. Seven years on, Riverside Market and Riverside Lanes opened as a seven-day indoor farmers’ market showcasing local produce alongside a curated boutique retail experience — a successor in spirit to the earlier Re:Start container mall.

Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa is a cultural wellness destination that combines Māori healing practices with thermal waters.

Allegion (New Zealand) Limited supplied high-quality door furniture products and services for the spa, and worked with spa developers, architects, and contractors to deliver door furniture solutions that complemented the spa’s design, ensured safety and security, and met environmental and cultural standards.

Designed for sophisticated living, The Victor apartment complex is a striking statement in the Browns Bay community of Auckland, with its modern mix of patterned concrete, black metal, grooved timber, and frameless glass. 

Waide Commercial Construction won the bid and subcontracted NZ Hardware Limited for door security and safety solutions, who worked on a new door specification that included Schlage eGO ™ and Schlage Omnia ™ Smart Locks for the apartment units.

Continuously innovating and keeping up with latest market trends, Allegion (New Zealand) Limited expands its local manufacturing capability by investing in a leading-edge automated electroplating plant for special finishing its door hardware. This helps ensure faster turnaround, quality control, environmental stewardship, and the ability to create market-differentiating bespoke products to meet an architectural vision.

Upgraded and future-proofed, Allegion New Zealand’s Head Office is a highly functional local manufacturing and operations facility, featuring expansive views of Auckland’s Pollen Island Marine Reserve and CBD. It stands as a showpiece for the construction industry.

Allegion New Zealand’s old factory was built in the 1970s and didn’t meet the needs of our business or our updated and innovative manufacturing  processes and plans for growth.
