Ashley Place

This commercial development at 2E Ashley Place, Papamoa, is defined by a strong industrial-inspired architectural language that combines red brick, dark profiled metal cladding and large areas of black-framed glazing. The two-storey street frontage is carefully articulated into vertical bays, giving the building a clear rhythm and a more refined scale while maximising natural light into the internal office spaces. The brickwork adds warmth and permanence, contrasting with the darker metal elements and light rendered side walls, while recessed entries and simple steel canopies provide depth and weather protection. The adjoining workshop and service areas are expressed more robustly with large roller doors and simplified forms, creating a clear distinction between office and operational functions. Overall, the design presents a contemporary and professional commercial identity while retaining the durability and practicality appropriate to Papamoa’s light industrial context.
