Three Ignite architects achieve registration

55 Corinthian Drive is one of the most sustainable new buildings on Auckland’s North Shore, but it’s going one step further – it’s encouraging its people to behave sustainably, too.

Insights

As the world settles into quarantine measures, working from home is starting to feel second-nature to many of us. Maybe you’ve found that the ironing board has a surprising range of movement as a stand-up desk, or that the cat provides some good workplace banter. Whatever your set-up, people around the globe have embraced this new way of working.

Ignite announces new Sector Leads and Principals

"These talented designers are the next generation of leaders at Ignite. They’ve played an influential role in our development to date, and are huge contributors to the ongoing success of our projects.”

We are thrilled to share that Associate Caroline Bartlett, Leonie Neuweger, and David Madsen have been appointed Registered Architects by the New Zealand Registered Architects Board (NZRAB).

55 Corinthian Drive is one of the most sustainable new buildings on Auckland’s North Shore, but it’s going one step further – it’s encouraging its people to behave sustainably, too.

The new leadership role responds to the continued growth of our Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown studios.

Over Ignite’s 35-year history, we have continued to expand our team to deliver projects across a range of industry and regional markets. Following this continued growth, Ignite is proud to announce the promotion of five Associate Directors to the newly established ‘Sector Lead’ position, with three Directors also now named as Principals.

Ignite is delighted to announce the appointment of Associate Director Kevin Adasko, who joins the specialist commercial team.

Gemma joined the Ignite Auckland studio in November 2019 after making the move from Melbourne. Since then, she has emerged as a key leader in the Aged Care design team and was recently promoted to Associate Director. We chatted to her about her first year at Ignite.

Originally featured in Architecture Now's 2020 Vision Series, Sector Lead Audrey de Filippis explores the increasing awareness of global citizenry and shared value and responsibility, including the role of design as we enter a new decade.

At Ignite, our Tauranga studio is playing an exciting role in responding to the city’s growth. Our anchor projects include the mixed-use Farmers development at Elizabeth Street, and the recently completed Latitude Residences on Park Road.

At a practice-level, Shara’s passion for human-centric architecture has seen her become a Wellness Leader at Ignite. She has been instrumental in the development of a wellness methodology and design approach, which considers how design might improve the human experience of a space.

Ignite picks up Gold, Silver, and Bronze for three projects at the NZ commercial project awards.

The bungy tower will be the main attraction of the Waitomo Sky Garden, which will be a world-first tourist attraction when completed.

Operating from 1 Searle Street, Ignite's Queenstown studio is perfectly placed to partner with developers, investors, and property owners throughout the region.

Newport Beach has a unique urban brand, which was built on the initial principles of its founders and the subsequent adaptation due to environmental challenges.

As designers, we're fortunate to spend our days problem solving and adapting to change. When faced with a challenge like this, our innovative thinking helps us create solutions, fast.

Innovation in tech is like any other business objective: once you have the vision for where you want to go, it is the users and the culture they create that will drive the change.

Hotel Grand Chancellor is bringing a new 12-storey hotel to Auckland Central, offering 191 guestrooms and suites for business and leisure travellers.

At its core, BTR is about placemaking. The design response must create a tailored, convenient living experience that fosters a sense of community and keeps people coming back for more.

We love to tell the stories of our people and our places through design. Placemaking is at the very core of our practice.
