Unispace Project: Arup's sustainable Living Building Challenge in Auckland

The Living Building Challenge is no easy feat, but building a sustainable workplace that creates a positive impact in the community makes it all worth it. Global specialist engineering firm, Arup, set out with a goal to create one of the most sustainable workplaces in Aotearoa New Zealand, housed within a Category 2 listed heritage building in the Britomart Precinct, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. The workplace pushes the boundaries of sustainable design and construction by targeting the world’s most stringent sustainability accreditation, the Living Building Challenge. Living Buildings are regenerative and positive, requiring a progressive and thoughtful approach to design and construction to achieve net zero carbon, water, and waste targets. It is an accreditation that raises the benchmark. Working in partnership with Māori Mana Whenua, Dane Tumahai and Paora Puru of Te Manu Taupua Ltd, the workplace centers around connection to New Zealand’s cultural heritage. In particular connecting the people of Arup with the community and with the land. Arup’s new home is located among significant cultural landscapes that Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei have a cultural, traditional, spiritual, and historical connection to; as the earliest settlers in the area. The Māori principle of Kaitiakitanga (guardianship) underpinned all design and construction choices. It was important that the Māori worldview is meaningfully felt, seen, and connected with within the workplace. See more about this space at this link: https://www.unispace.com/projects/aru...
