Global architecture studio Woods Bagot has announced plans to relocate its office in Christchurch, New Zealand to a new space in the Britomart section Auckland. The new office is set to open in January 2021 and will bring the firm’s total number of international offices to 17.
“New Zealand has been an important part of Woods Bagot’s regional pipeline for a decade and has steadily grown over the past four to five years,” says Woods Bagot executive director and regional executive chair Kate Frear. “The nation has also managed the pandemic extremely well and is positioned to come out of it even stronger. On projects from Auckland in the north through to Dunedin in the south, our local team has drawn on the expertise within the firm’s global studio network. We’ll continue to provide the international experience that the local market has reached out for, with the critical local cultural and design input that makes our work for, and of, its place.”
Woods Bagot will announce the Auckland studio chair next year as well.
