As we navigate an increasingly complex economic and political landscape, now more than ever, architects, interior designers, builders, painters and artists have a role to play in shaping a future that values craftsmanship and community. In the design and construction industries, where quality and trust are paramount, the importance of supporting homegrown talent and products has never been clearer.
With deep roots in New Zealand and Australia, Resene continues to focus on innovation, sustainability and durability while developing products with our unique conditions in mind. But choosing Resene is about far more than just selecting paints and coatings – you’re also helping to sustain the networks and expertise that make our industry strong. Every specification, every brushstroke and every project built with local products and know-how strengthens the foundation of our creative economy and supply chain.
This issue celebrates our power as designers, builders, makers, painters and doers to adapt, inspire and endure. Inside, you’ll find stories of projects that embrace a local-first mentality, insights from professionals who are driving industry innovation and ideas to help you navigate any challenges you’re currently facing with confidence. We hope these pages remind you that, even in turbulent times, the best way forward is together – relying on the skills, talents and ingenuity that have always set our region apart.
Happy reading!
