NZCIS ATHLETES VILLAGE & AMENITIES BUILDING

Where High Performance Meets Home Comfort: Creating Spaces for Champions

Working alongside Wright & Gray Architects and Homestead Construction, we designed 50 premium apartments and a central amenities hub at the New Zealand Campus of Innovation and Sport. Our concept of "High Performance Comfort" guided every design decision, creating spaces where both elite athletes and professionals can rest, recharge, and excel.

Excellence demands the perfect environment to thrive. That's why we approached this project with meticulous attention to both functionality and comfort. Each self-contained apartment was designed in consultation with professional athletes and business leaders, incorporating their real-world needs into every detail.

The spaces feature thoughtfully integrated joinery throughout, from the efficient 2.2m wide kitchenettes to the generous wardrobes designed for both business attire and sports equipment. We balanced practical elements across the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen fitted joinery units with warm, inspiring design touches. The material palette combines white powder-coated steel with blonde timber-look finishes, while cork flooring adds natural warmth and comfort underfoot.

The development includes a central amenities building that serves as a social hub, fostering connection and community among guests. This project exemplifies how thoughtful design can support peak performance, creating an environment where guests can focus on what matters most—whether that's training, recovery, or professional excellence.

This fantastic feedback from the Swedish Women's National team after their stay at NZCIS for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 is a wonderful reflection of the thoughtfully designed facilities at NZCIS.

“NZCIS became like a home away from home for us in the team and the service level was first class. The accommodation is the absolute best we ever had and to have the dining room and players lounge in the same room was a winning concept for us and really helped to get the group together. We would from the bottom of our hearts thank the entire team at NZCIS for making our stay a pleasure and we recommend this facility to all teams around the world!”
