Shopping Center with ETFE Roof

Botany Town Center, in suburban Auckland, is one of New Zealand’s largest regional shopping destinations. We partnered with Ignite Architects, Structural Designers Create Ltd and Head Contractors Naylor Love. This team created an iconic upgrade for one of the key zones in the center.

Not only are our buildings highly creative and efficient powerhouses, but they are also among the most secure environments people can work, play and live in. We always focus on safety and security in everything we do.

Stunning Effects with Texlon® ETFE Cladding

Highly complex geometry, tight schedules and difficult installation were all combined into one of the toughest projects we have ever undertaken. However, the results speak for themselves. The 2-layer ETFE cushions wrap across the base steelwork frame, which gives a visually stunning effect. This changes hour by hour. Night time or day time – a simply beautiful structure made possible by state-of-the-art design and execution.

What Our Clients Say

“The Vector Foiltec team has really gone beyond what would have normally been acceptable performance under pressure.”

– Scott Watson, Director of Naylor Love
