Supreme Court Wellington

The Supreme Court building has been a significant addition to Wellington’s and New Zealand’s public buildings and will be a heritage site for the future. Buildings such as the old Government building and Parliament buildings help develop a strong sense of national identity, and so too does the new Supreme Court building.

The new building is surrounded by a bronze and glass screen depicting the strength, durability and stature of the Pohutukawa and Rata tree. The Glassroom produced over 2,500 individual sections of heat treated glass for this gigantic sculpture. The building environment has a refreshingly unique New Zealand atmosphere.

The Glassroom also produced the glass wall panels which are used to line the two sets of elevators

Scenic Circle Rain Forest Hotel, Franz Josef

This new eco-hotel was constructed in 2009.

The hotel incorporates many sustainable design principles and is a soft timbered building designed to melt into and complement the existing native bush.

A quiet and protected rain forest courtyard ensures the 100 guest rooms will have a restful feel and provide the guests with a 100% NZ experience.

The Glassroom was commissioned to produce laminated art glass panels for the Entry Lobby, and front of the hotel. These panels cast soft colours across the atrium floor.

Textured and specially coloured TGR splashbacks are in each of the hundred guest rooms.
