Knight Associates, Sons & Co., Lyttleton, New Zealand, 2018

The Auckland-based studio Knight Associates completed the renovation of a warehouse space in Lyttleton, a port town in New Zealand’s South Island. The practice was commissioned by the design agency Sons & Co. which brief was a design studio for six people.

The existing space is characterised by metal trusses, timber sarking, and polished concrete. The renovation relates to these features creating a refined and laid-back atmosphere. The predominating element of the intervention consists of a wooden surface with a fluted motif, individually milled, as a reference to Achille Castiglioni’s Traccia lamp. This unique surface works as a wall cladding combined to large sliding door and divides the working area and the meeting spaces.
