Pahikara is a vision for cycling tourism in Greytown

The Midcity cinema complex, a once-thriving entertainment hub in Auckland since 1984, faced years of vacancy after its closure. In 2018, Cityfitness seized the opportunity to transform this iconic space into a bustling fitness center, revitalising both the building and the surrounding Queen Street area.

Catalyst was engaged by Waka Kotahi to refit their offices located in the Aon Tower in downtown Auckland. The priority was to create a seamless transition between the old tenancy and the new tenancy on the same floor, while also meeting the client's requirements for quieter spaces and collaboration areas. 

CityFitness’s flagship fitness center in Wellington underwent a remarkable transformation, turning a vacant trucking logistics warehouse into a vibrant modern gym.

This is a newly constructed building located in the Kaukapakapa Village, which is currently being developed by Kaukapakapa Centre Village Company Ltd.

The concept behind this project is centered around the journey of a diverse group of Pacific Island peoples coming together and incorporating their unique values from the islands into the landscape of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Catalyst was engaged to design new office buildings for tenants, the Ministry of Social Development and Oranga Tamariki, in Te Awamutu

The Ministry of Social Development building is a modern office space located in the heart of Napier, with an eye-catching location visible from the town centre. It will be occupied by Oranga Tamariki and Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities, and will span three levels, with dedicated car parking available on the ground floor and basement.

In 2016, the Kaikoura Earthquake forced Crombie Lockwood out of their office space, leaving them in a temporary workspace. However, they wanted to make this space their permanent workplace.

Catalyst architecture was enlisted to upgrade and refurbish Repton House, a student dormitory at Rathkeale College in Masterton, New Zealand. The school, which is part of a group of three Trinity Schools affiliated with the Anglican Church, needed a modern living space for its male students. Repton House, in particular, required similar upgrades to those of Cranleigh House, which was previously renovated in 2009.
