Remuera Medical Hub
Remuera Medical Hub is a high-end shared medical facility developed by Gibbons Co., with architectural design by renowned firm Fearon Hay. Featuring a glass façade to Remuera Road, an intricate mesh screen to Norana Avenue, and a striking circular canopy, the building combines refined materials with a contemporary, gallery-like interior.
I worked on this project as part of Laurenson Building Contractors, the subcontractors delivering construction.

Steel Fort
While at Laurenson Building Contractors, I contributed to the delivery of a 2000 m² warehouse with a 500 m² double-height Miele showroom, workshop, and a 260 m² open-plan mezzanine office. The project required innovative responses to difficult ground conditions, including high retaining walls supported by Geogrid-stabilised precast structures.
Working closely with the engineering team and Form Building and Developments, the design was refined with construction methodology at its core — integrating structural, drainage, and fitout solutions into a cohesive architectural outcome that balanced technical performance with an elevated commercial presence.
That Looks
That Looks, bricks-and-mortar showroom measuring a total of 70 square meters, it’s small but somehow, it doesn’t feel intrusive or like you’ve just walked into someone’s bedroom.
The showroom features an expanding range of exciting up-and-coming independent designers.
