Human Dynamo Workshop picks up a Resene Total Colour Award

Jugdes praise vintage eclectic colours

The Moore Wilson’s Porirua Bottle Warehouse project, started with a blank canvas to design and develop the liquor outlet at their Porirua branch. Human Dynamo Workshop worked with the Moore Family management team to create a spatial design solution that invited customers from the Porirua region into the large warehouse space. With Sue Dorrington lead Art Director.

The south side of the warehouse was to display spirits and required a counter between the public and the bottles. This counter is styled as an elongated vintage launch.

The far wall features the Craft beer boat shed, were you can refill bottles and browse the wide selection from the fridge.

The north wall recreated a typical line of four boat sheds, each housing distinct categories of wine. The central floor space in the middle of the warehouse displays wine boxes on pallets.

The recreated boat sheds, are totally coloured using Resene paints. They provide an intermittent space for wine shoppers. The large warehouse space now has a laidback vibe that relates to its regional location.

The space was developed to feel local, relaxed, celebratory, familiar, entertaining, and creative.Colour palettes were inspired directly by the boat sheds found at the Paremata inlet in Porirua, which themselves are rich in colour scheme, variety, and nautical charm.

Drawing on history it brings together a charming nautical experience and colourways for an uplifting shopping experience.
