From old engineering building to high-performance showroom.
This project is a great example of where the right insulation solution can work with an existing building rather than against it.
The existing industrial character was worth keeping — including the high ceilings, exposed structure and curved roof.
The challenge? Improving the thermal performance of the building without covering up the features that made the space unique.
NZ Foam insulation was applied directly to the underside of the existing curved roof, creating a continuous insulation layer while retaining the open industrial look.
The result is a building that gets a new lease of life, with improved thermal performance and a finished interior that still celebrates the original structure.

It’s another example of why renovation projects don’t always need to start with ripping everything out and starting again.
