After years of shared accommodation in central Christchurch, the Arlo Partners collective (Spencer Barr, Milson Foundry, Zoosh Studio and allied brands) needed a workplace that expressed both their collaborative spirit and individual expertise.

The space also had to honour the city’s industrial heritage while establishing a distinct identity for the Arlo family of brands.
