Spark Hamilton

Having worked with Spark for many years, VIDAK were once again approached to help undertake their latest project in Hamilton.

Sharing the building with recent VIDAK fit outs ‘Waikato Regional Council’ & ‘Opus’, we were keen to make sure that the final occupants were as satisfied as their new neighbours.

Part retrofit / Part new fit out, the origin of this project began with decanting the various levels of existing Spark buildings of their workstations across the country so the staff could be operational on day one.

Whilst this was being undertaken, VIDAK worked closely with the Spark Facilities Management team and Edwards White Architects to create meeting, collaboration, soft seating and breakout settings across the floor.

For some, this would be a new way of working; The ability to use a Huddle soft seating booth for video conferencing or take a personal phone call in a Retreat lounge chair or Room booth would be a warm welcome back to the workplace post lockdown.

The key area for all staff was always going to be the Kitchen hub; this is intended to be a place of interaction and activity with a mix of soft seating pieces that mould to the curves of the building. Low level Trestle Eco tables and benches bring a more residential feel to the space and Luca Leaner tables looking out to Seddon Park are multi-purpose for either quiet focus work, lunch breaks or a quick catch up whilst sat on Pure Barstools.

For a company like Spark that move as quickly as technology changes, the staff at their Hamilton office can now be as adaptable with their various ways of working.
