Oregon Group Office | Auckland, NZ
MODE was commissioned to design a new office fit-out for Oregon Group within an existing approximately 635m² office floor in Grafton, Auckland.
MODE’s interior design team drew inspiration from nature (forests) and worked with a colour palette that is soothing, relaxing, and playful. The mixture of yellow and green colour tone works well with the client’s business branding design.
As the client’s business is focused around forestry production in NZ, a wide range of timber products were used, including feature timber wall, suspended timber ceiling panel, perforated timber screens, and timber flooring. The aim was to promote their primary business using timber elements, and to introduce the verticality of forestry throughout the office.
MODE implemented bespoke design including construction of a curved green timber batten wall (ash) in the reception area. The gaps in between the vertical battens create a strong negative detailing and shadowing effect, which also reveals the timber grain as you step close by. The overall acoustic performance was improved significantly by installation of new acoustic treatment including suspended ceiling panels, acoustic wall panels, and 3D tiles.
