Proud to be part of the development of Nukumea Primary School, set on a stunning 2.9-hectare site surrounded by native bush. Ignite had the privilege of leading the master planning, design, and construction oversight for Stage 1, with architecture that integrates beautifully with its natural environment. The thoughtful use of brick, weatherboard, and profiled cladding creates a harmonious connection with the surrounding homes. 📸: Mark Scowen

Contributing to the growth of Albany’s dynamic business district, 6-8 Munroe Lane is a 26,500sqm office development near the North Shore’s key transport hub. It features a 5 Green Star Design rating and a high-performance curtain wall façade. With sustainability and Universal Design principles at its core, the building incorporates a micro-line frit in the façade to manage solar gain and visual glare, enhancing energy efficiency and ensuring a comfortable work environment with reduced reliance on artificial cooling during warmer months.

Delighted to see the first stage of The Sands Town Centre in Papamoa now open. This development represents a significant step forward for the Bay of Plenty region, offering a diverse range of commercial and community-focused amenities. Exciting times ahead as this project continues to grow.

We are excited to share one of our large recent projects designed by Ignite Architects. Following the success achieved with Huapai Country Club M1, Form Building & Developments Ltd and Hoppers entered into another Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) arrangement to execute the design and construction of M2 – another high-spec aged care facility. This was a DESIGN & BUILD project for ACMF, installing three different louvres systems for solar and ventilation control over various areas of the M2 site. All louvres were fabricated in our local factory and installed by our specialised team.
