Trustpower's New Headquarters

Trustpower’s new headquarters in Tauranga’s

central business district  utilises Potters Interior Systems products throughout. The architect on the build was David Giera from Warren & Mahoney Wellington and the contractors were CBC Construction and Ceilings Unlimited.

Housing over 500 members of staff, the state-of-the-art building will

house functions ranging from the 24/7 control centre for Trustpower’s generation facilities

to Customer Service, IT, Finance, Marketing, and  Community Relations.

Trustpower will be operating on a business

model it refers to as Synergy New Ways of Working.  This utilises the building’s unique design,

which allows staff to  work in flexible, alternative workspaces  rather  than  being stuck at one desk all day.

The design responds to  how people will move through

the space and where the focus areas are.

Trustpower Project Executive Karen Boyte says

that part of the change is acknowledging the technological and physical aspects

of the building.

Potter Interiors Systems supplied the building’s partitioning with alternating profiles including custom extra large and central line glazed A Series 132, in addition to the DS Series doors which fit within the Potters Aluminium Systems.Furthermore Potters Interiors manufactured and supplied the porcelain on  steel whiteboards with black powder coated frames.
