A green backdrop for a new headquarters
When Goodman Fielder consolidated its Auckland operations into a single new headquarters at 8 Nelson Street, Outside In was engaged to bring the fit-out to life with planting throughout reception, breakout areas and meeting spaces. Floor-to-ceiling glazing looks out over the Waitematā Harbour and Sky Tower, and greenery was used to soften the building's dark, architectural palette of oxide-red steel and warm timber without ever competing with the view.
Kentia palms and Ficus anchor the breakout dining areas alongside colourful bistro tables, while smaller meeting pods and glass-walled rooms are framed by potted palms and trailing foliage, creating a sense of privacy and calm without sacrificing natural light.
Planting throughout, room by room
In shared kitchen and dining areas, large planters of palms and Ficus sit alongside communal tables, giving staff a reason to linger between meetings. Smaller breakout nooks feature layered planting in concrete cylinders, paired with soft furnishings and painted accent walls that bring warmth to quieter corners of the office.
For the company behind household food brands like Vogel's, Meadow Fresh, Edmonds and Molenberg, the result is a headquarters that feels considered from top to bottom — connecting staff to nature throughout their working day.
