Projects
DUAL Insurance, a global leader in specialist insurance solutions, partnered with Studio DB to create a modern, flexible workspace in Auckland’s CBD, supporting their growth and rebranding efforts in New Zealand. Studio DB collaborated closely with DUAL’s global headquarters to integrate their updated brand guidelines, delivering a dynamic, functional space that reflects DUAL’s commitment to innovation and collaboration.
From initial concept to final delivery, our approach with DUAL Insurance was grounded in precision, transparency, and a deep understanding of the client’s operational needs. Working closely with DUAL’s global headquarters, we ensured the project adhered to their new rebrand guidelines, with New Zealand playing a key role in leading the charge for the updated branding. This collaboration ensured a cohesive design that reflects DUAL’s fresh, global identity.
Located in central Auckland, the new workspace reflects DUAL’s dynamic and people-focused culture. The environment was designed to foster connection, collaboration, and agility, supporting both in-person and hybrid workstyles while providing the flexibility to accommodate growth over the next five years. Security was a top priority, ensuring that the design adhered to the highest standards of safety and confidentiality, reflecting DUAL’s commitment to protecting both client and company information.
The fit-out features smart spatial planning, enabling smooth transitions between quiet zones, collaborative areas, and informal breakout spaces. A dedicated wellbeing room offers employees a peaceful retreat to recharge and focus on their mental and physical health. High-quality materials and modern finishes reflect DUAL’s professional identity while enhancing comfort, functionality, and team engagement.
Spanning across an entire floor in the newly renovated 34 Shortland Street building. The office includes open-plan workstations, enclosed meeting rooms, social hubs, and multi-purpose areas that support a variety of workstyles. The design also incorporates a versatile event hub that can comfortably host 80+ attendees, making it an ideal space for team gatherings, client events, and larger company functions. The design places a strong emphasis on wellbeing, adaptability, and security, empowering employees to thrive in a space built for today and ready for the future.
We are proud to have delivered a workspace that not only meets DUAL’s current needs but also positions them for success as they continue to grow and evolve in the New Zealand market and globally.
