NZ New Milk

This is a new infant formula blending factory near Auckland airport. Apart from the three-storey factory, it has generous warehousing, a protected loading/unloading canopy, public reception and sales offices as well as housing the company administration.

The project had a short time-line, and used a lot of imported materials. The requirements around food production are very demanding, with extensive quality control.

The public entrance is raised nearly a metre above the driveway so that visitors come up into the building before encountering a deliberate pause at the reception. A wall of glass gives visitors a view of the robotised packing machines
