In addition to the New Zealand-designed furniture and fabrics, sustainability has been a focus in the design with the inclusion of recyclable carpet, sustainably manufactured floor and wall tiles, low energy LED lighting and water efficient plumbing fixtures. One of the most striking features is the unique sculptural ceiling tiles, made largely from recycled plastic bottles and inspired by the snow-capped Southern Alps.
Well-known New Zealand furniture designer Simon James has incorporated his flair within the lounge layout with tiered seating to provide customers with expansive views of the runway and Southern Alps through floor to ceiling windows.
