In power

The new offices for Network Tasman in Nelson provide a comfortable and spacious workspace for the 40 staff keeping the power supply and associated infrastructure to the Nelson/Tasman district on track. Designed with an environmental focus, the specification of Resene Environmental Choice approved products Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen waterborne enamel, Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel and Resene Zylone Sheen low sheen acrylic were key.

All workstations enjoy pleasing outlooks and vibrant colours, with Resene Iko Iko (mustard green), Resene Tana (stony grey), Resene Moroccan Spice (spicy orange), Resene Double Fossil (green edged beige) and Resene Spinnaker (maritime blue) adding to the interior ambience. The stunning reception area features Resene Lusty (orange red) with buff coloured concrete blocks protected with Resene Multishield+ acrylic glaze.

The building's two key focal points, the block tower housing the control room and the tall clerestory lit atrium, are finished in Resene Half Parchment (stony beige) linking all workspaces.

Resene Waterborne Aquapel water repellent and Resene Multishield+ protect and accentuate the buff coloured concrete blocks used for the control tower and the exterior block veneer. Resene Ivanhoe (slate blue) features on the fibre cement board cladding, carried through to the roofing, helping the building to nestle comfortably into its rural environment.

Rural outlooks combined with striking colour selections make coming to work a pleasure.
