Visionwest Community Trust, in partnership with Glen Eden Baptist Church, offers social care and welfare services in West Auckland and beyond. Recognising the need to refresh its brand identity and expand facilities, Visionwest acquired an ex-Salvation Army site near to their main campus to develop a dual housing and Social Services Hub.
Gaze collaborated with Visionwest to craft a purpose-built space reflecting the organisation's values and mission. Inclusive design processes ensured staff input, resulting in a refreshed workspace aligning with Visionwest's brand direction. The hub serves as a dynamic centre for community connection and support, embodying Visionwest's commitment to uplifting lives.
The collaboration showcases how design can profoundly impact community support and connections. The workspace reflects Visionwest's brand identity and serves as a beacon of hope and empowerment for the communities it serves.
Loved the whole journey and still feel at the end of the project that we picked the right partners.
