Reflecting on 2024: Milestones, Challenges, and a Look Ahead

It’s a Wrap

Opinion

As we wrap up for the year (COB December 20, reopening January 13, 2025), it’s the perfect time to reflect on what’s been a year of ups and downs. Let’s face it—no year is without its challenges, but it’s in overcoming those challenges that we grow and learn.

Here’s a snapshot of our top 5 milestones and challenges for 2024:

  1. Adapting to Change: From navigating shifting project priorities to new client demands, we’ve remained agile and proactive—problem-solving is what we do best.
  2. Expanding Our Footprint: Our focus on regional areas like the Waikato, Bay of Plenty, and South Island has opened up new opportunities, proving that great design isn’t just for the big cities.
  3. Sustainability in Action: We tackled Scope 3 emissions projects, embraced circular design strategies, and helped clients create spaces with real environmental impact.
  4. Delivering Big Projects: Whether it was aged care, retail rollouts, or workplace fitouts, we’re proud to have completed transformative projects that are all about the people, aligning spaces with business success.
  5. Focusing on Culture: Our people are everything, and we’re proud of the culture we’ve built together. This year, we celebrated milestones like 14 years of Christy Ormand, 10 years of Kerry Tolley, 8 years of Anau Milton, 8 years of Bradley Keys, 7 years of Wendy Donaldson, 6 years of Lauren Gibbs and 5 years of Penny Angell. By fostering a culture that prioritises diversity and inclusion, we’re reminded that our people make work enjoyable and our designs meaningful.

This year reminded us of one key thing: resilience and adaptability are everything.

Thank you to our incredible clients, suppliers, and team for your support, collaboration, and trust.

Wishing you all a wonderful, restful Christmas and New Year. Here’s to 2025—may it be a year of growth, creativity, and success.

See you on January 13th!
