WOTSO Te Tōangaroa

Redefining flex space.

WOTSO's new central Auckland co-working space leverages the XFrame® system to unlock flexibility and circularity.

Creating spaces for small growing businesses to inhabit comes with major challenges.  Requirements change month-to-month and relocating premise can be massively disruptive.  The power of flex space is to allow such business a workplace that can adapt to each businesses needs over time. WOTSO's new Te Tōangaroa site takes this to the next level by adopting XFrame and creating walls that can flex with client needs.

Working closely with the WOTSO design and property team XFrame resolved a kit-of-parts space making system comprised of 6 standard panels. This kit was then articulated into the new Te Tōangaroa site to create private office and meeting room spaces based on the initial expectations of client needs.

It is anticipated that over time, as businesses needs change, that panels will be reconfigured. This might mean splitting spaces up further to create smaller private office space, or removing wall sections to allow larger companies to continue to expand. The tartan grid planning methodology developed by XFrame underpins this potential for future change by creating a consistent and predictable standardised spatial plan.

At our WOTSO Te Tōangaroa project, we engaged XFrame as a key part of our fitout strategy. XFrame’s modular framing allowed us to configure our space to be adapted over time without the waste and cost of traditional construction. The installation process was fast and efficient, minimising disruption and keeping the project on schedule. The XFrame system has given us a circular solution that aligns with our values, each component can be disassembled, reused, or reconfigured, supporting both our long term growth and environmental impact.

The result at WOTSO Te Tōangaroa is a dynamic, futureproof workspace that looks great, and will continue to evolve with our needs. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend XFrame to anyone seeking a smarter way to deliver flexible and futureproof space.
