Our approach to sustainable interior design and fit-outs is deeply integrated into every phase of our project delivery — from initial concept to final execution. We consider every element through the lens of environmental impact, ensuring that our design and materials choices align with your sustainability goals. Our collaboration with PMG Funds exemplifies this approach. We achieved an impressive 44% reduction in fit-out emissions, thereby not only meeting but surpassing their sustainability expectations.
Case Study: PMG Funds - A Model of Success

In our work with PMG Funds, one of New Zealand’s leading property funds management firms, we showcased how aligned values in sustainability can lead to outstanding results. PMG Funds’ commitment to being a carbon-zero business echoes our own, and through our joint efforts using the Spaceworks Carbon Calculator, we have set new benchmarks for the industry. This successful reduction in emissions demonstrates the tangible benefits of our collaboration, leading to enhanced sustainability credentials for PMG.

“Spaceworks exceeded our expectations with their innovative Carbon Calculator, surpassing our sustainability fit-out goals. Sustainability is a cornerstone of our business, as we are a net carbon zero organisation. Our focus is to showcase the impact of sustainable practices on base builds and landlord fit-outs, setting high standards for our tenants right from the beginning, and Spaceworks has been instrumental in helping us towards this goal.”
