New headquarters for OneFortyOne NZ

Friday 9 Aug 2024

OneFortyOne NZ Forests is building a new headquarters in Hope, Tasman. A key feature was to show how timber can be used to achieve a cost-effective carbon-neutral build. All the components that you would normally make from concrete and steel have, where possible, a timber alternate – with the aim that we sequester more carbon than was released.

The sheer volume of timber in this building is a real statement around what the company, and industry, stands for. Construction has been undertaken by Irving Smith Architects, Scott Construction New Zealand and Network Tasman Limited.

Design highlights include:
  • Glulam posts, the equivalent of concrete in the design.
  • LVL rafters, used like steel.
  • The timber floor is one of the largest ever built in the region, and with the use of screw piles, construction time was cut down by almost a third.
