Fisher & Paykel are a global premium laundry and kitchen appliance brand with a commitment to radically reducing their 3-scope supply chain emissions. Their new global Headquarters building will be embodied carbon zero and almost net zero operational. The project aspires to be not just environmentally sustainable, but socially, ecologically, and culturally sustainable. This campus development will comprise an office building, product development workshops and laboratories with car parking and end of trip facilities.
The balance of the post-industrial site will be regenerated with pre-European flora and fauna with consultation with the indigenous Māori custodians of the land. This is a post-pandemic hybrid workplace which will provide an inclusive environment that will facilitate collaboration and connectivity for their diverse staff of over 1000. The aspiration of the project is to invite their people to ‘Come Home to Work’. This project will build on our next generation of engineered timber design principals developed through our Scion Innovation Hub project – 3 storey timber diagrid construction achieving embodied carbon zero.
The building will be the largest mass timber building in New Zealand and will look to set a new global benchmark in the post-pandemic hybrid workplace model encompassing net-zero office innovation.
