HW Richardson Tower

HWR Tower is Invercargill’s tallest building.  Situated in the heart of the CBD, it boasts a diverse range of spaces over eight levels, with retail tenancies at ground level, office spaces from levels two to eight, and a rooftop penthouse.

Main contractor Naylor Love employed alternative building and site management methodologies as well as materials to optimise safety, cost and build times. The open-plan commercial levels reveal exposed services and a graphic, linear central stairwell giving an industrial aesthetic. Carpet tiles bring softness visually, as well as acoustically, with the interior designers, Unispace, specifying organic patterns that vary between spaces.

DSGN Cloud commercial carpet tiles from modulyss® are ideal for a shifting tone across the floor that adds an organic feel, sitting beautifully in contrast to the more utilitarian interior architecture of the HWR project.
