Workspace Inspiration: RocketWerkz

 
Take a look at RocketWerkz's immersive workspace in Commercial Bay, Auckland CBD.
 
Globally recognised gaming studio RocketWerkz, decided to house their HQ in NZ's premium corporate CBD tower, Commercial Bay. 
 
Independent, ambitious, and with a 'focus on deep PC gaming experiences', RocketWerkz chose Auckland as their small city hub - with all of the 'Silicon Valley-type employee benefits'.
 
Partnered with Unispace, a design firm known to create bespoke experiential spaces, the result is a workspace that needs to be seen to be believed.

RocketWerkz has invested in a workplace that provides the optimal conditions for both game creation, and cultivating the high-performing environment and culture for sustaining its impressive growth.

We conceived the entire workplace as a gamified experience; where exploration and key ‘decision-points’ alter your course through the floorplate. The intention was to create an experience that is ever-changing and feels significantly different with each visit.

 Through design workshops, the idea of an airlock and space station was created. This experience begins from the moment you step out of the elevator, after a rapid ascension of 38 floors (150m/500ft) in 18.5 seconds.

This is an excellent example of when pushing beyond the comfort zone can result in something truly unique and special. This is a workplace that has to be seen to be believed.
