Change of Use & Unlocking A Building's Potential

Daily Bread, one of Auckland's best-known bakery brands, approached Gel Architects when they secured a new premises in New Lynn to centralise their baking, distribution and office operations.

One of the most important aspects of any commercial alteration project is transforming an old building to meet modern requirements. On the surface, the building looked like a great fit. But like many older commercial properties, it came with a complex history. Older buildings often provide good bones and excellent locations, but adapting them requires a detailed understanding of regulations, existing conditions and construction constraints.

Today, with Gel's expertise, Daily Bread operates from a centralised, purpose-built facility that delivers improved productivity, a modern staff environment and room for future growth.

Whether it's a warehouse, retail tenancy, industrial facility or large-format building, at Gel we specialise in helping clients navigate the complexities of council requirements, building refurbishment, adaptive reuse and commercial alterations.
