🚁 Ever seen a lift motor arrive by helicopter?

That's exactly what happened during the lift modernisation of Simpl House in Wellington's C*D.

Working alongside Otis and CBRE, our team helped upgrade three passenger lifts within the 14-storey commercial building, introducing destination control technology to improve efficiency, reduce wait times, and enhance the experience for building occupants.

The constrained inner-city site meant the new lift motors couldn't be delivered through traditional methods, so they were helicoptered onto the roof before installation.

It's a great example of how existing buildings can be upgraded to meet modern performance expectations while extending the life of critical infrastructure.

✨ Te Ara Tupua is complete!

Stephenson & Turner is proud to have delivered the lighting design for Te Ara Tupua, the landmark shared pathway connecting Wellington and the Hutt Valley.

This incredible project brings together walking and cycling infrastructure, cultural storytelling, ecological restoration and vibrant public spaces along the harbour edge. The lighting was carefully designed to enhance safety, celebrate key cultural elements and respect the surrounding coastal environment.

Since opening, more than 85,000 people have already used the pathway, embracing this new way to connect with the harbour and each other.

A huge thank you to the Te Ara Tupua Alliance, Taranaki Whānui, Ngāti Toa Rangatira and the many consultants, contractors and collaborators who helped bring this extraordinary project to life.

Making time to connect, create and recharge 🎨❄️

In the middle of a busy winter season, we recently took the opportunity to step away from our desks and come together for our annual midwinter staff event.

This year, Stacey Fraser-Allen, Brick and Water Creative guided our team through a Paint & Sip session, teaching us how to capture a well-known Wellington landmark in watercolour.

The evening was a chance to slow down, learn something new, and enjoy a different kind of creativity. Events like these are a simple reminder of the value of taking a pause and doing something different together. A huge thank you to Stacey for sharing her expertise and helping us embrace our creative side.

Napier Boys’ High School’s Armour Block replacement continues to stand as an example of future focused educational design, shaped by climate, movement, and the life of the school.

Designed as two connected buildings framing the Quad, the project replaces an end of life facility with adaptable Science and English learning spaces, shaded outdoor circulation, and a strong field facing identity defined by its DNA-inspired brise soleil.

Shortlisted for the 2025 NZIA Gisborne and Hawkes Bay Architecture Awards, the project reflects a considered approach to longevity, flexibility, and student wellbeing.

This morning, our Wellington studio came together bright and early to host a Pink Ribbon Breakfast, sharing a delicious breakfast while raising awareness of breast cancer and supporting Breast Cancer Foundation New Zealand.

It was a great way to pause, connect as a team, and show our support for an important cause that affects so many in our communities. Thank you to everyone who contributed, attended, and helped make the morning such a positive and meaningful start to the day.

We were proud to sponsor the recent Property Council visit to Turnbull House and to share insights into a project where engineering is very deliberately in service of the building itself.

S&T delivered the full MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) and lift design for Turnbull House, working within significant constraints including up to 425mm of seismic movement, complex heritage considerations, and the need for ongoing access to maintain critical equipment. Through careful coordination, our team developed an integrated services design that supports the building’s current use while enabling its future adaptability.

As Project Lead Tim Keightley notes, “Turnbull is not just a building upgrade – the building is what we’re trying to protect. Everything we do has to serve the building, not the other way around.”

The tour offered a valuable behind‑the‑scenes look at how thoughtful engineering, seismic resilience and heritage conservation can work together to safeguard one of Wellington’s most significant historic buildings.
