Spencer on Byron

The Bo Concept Store designed by JASMAX is a new multi-storey furniture showroom, warehouse and office complex on the northern slopes of Auckland's Maungawhau (Mt Eden) making extensive use of precast concrete wall and floor elements. North and South flanking walls comprising 200 and 150 mm thick precast wall panels, in places, rise up to 5 storeys in height.

Incorporating cast-in 'dimples' for visual interest, the unpainted panels, which simultaneously performs both structure and cladding functions, provided a cost effective and expedient building solution that imbued the overall project with a 'raw' aesthetic consistent with the urban hinterland it occupies.

Suspended, frameless glass, louvre panels and profiled translucent and metal wall claddings form visually open ends to the precast 'box' and provide a materially rich counterpoint to its 'muted' mass.
