A koru motif broken up into variegatedlines was installed on the balustrades by high performance window films THE DOC BUILDING is colour-coded green for the future of the environment and this applies in literal as well as symbolic terms. The central atrium, stretching up four floors, has a green koru motif writ large across its glass balustrading on all levels. This graphic is broken up into variegated vertical lines.High Performance Window Films, HPWF, supplied and installed the translucent adhesive films that comprise these graphics, as well as colourful elements found in other areas."The atrium's eye-catching element is also repeated as red and gold motifs on some glass-fronted offices," says Michael Ladbrook, managing director of HPWF Wellington. "Made with High Performance Windows Films' Lateral Film, the images are digitally printed directly onto either frosted, opaque or clear films to provide an expedient design solution for corporate identities in this case for The Department of Conservation."

"These appear over three levels from Manners Street and over four levels as seen from the Willis Street elevation."This was an upscale project for High Performance Window Films, with over 200m of the graphic film used in the internal atrium area and offices and another 60m for the external window graphics.
