BNZ F1 F2 Harbour Quays

Project Overview

BNZ Wellington head office was a total clad solution for Thermosash. A key stand out feature for this building is the 3 dimensional 'bathtubs' to the exterior. These are folded metal pressings which are hung off the curtainwall which continues behind offering a junction free facade.

Thermosash provided a 'Total Clad Solution' for Fletcher Construction on the BNZ F1/F2 Building including the base build interior atrium glazing.

  • Thermosash CW600 Stickwall system to stairwell and level one shopfronts
  • Thermosash PW600 sloped clerestory skylights to atrium roof area
  • Composite Aluminium Cladding to canopies / soffits
  • Mechanical louvres to recessed high level soffits
  • Integrated fire, smoke, acoustic horizontal floor seals and pelmets
  • Seismic building joints

Upcycling a Thermosash Facade: The BNZ Harbour Quay was damaged in the Kaikoura earthquake in 2016, however, the facade was salvageable and was removed by Thermosash during demolition and re-installed on the Wellington Children’s Hospital plus other buildings. Architecture Now has featured an article on this re-use project, Breathing new life into recovered building materials.
