Mt. Maunganui New World [227KB]
The Mount Maunganui New World represents the successful collaboration of Babbage Consultants Limited and NP4 Architects achieving what is a very effective solution to an array of complex design parameters.
With the prominence of the corner location on the main road into Mt Maunganui, our concern was that while fulfilling its commercial purpose, the building also needed to establish itself as a local landmark, providing a presence in the urban landscape and at the same time having a sense of transparency which would invite people inside; into the shopping experience.
Spatially the intention was to provide a clean, modern shopping experience. The interior design intention is minimalist, emphasising the product on offer while not denying the architecture creating the environment.
Mt Maunganui New World represents a triumph of ‘alliance’ construction methodology, wherein the client, architect, project manager, contractor, and other consultants cooperate in a team environment which produces excellence; on time, on budget and above expectations.
