Project: Te Mātāwai, 139 Greys Ave, Auckland 
Main Contractor: Icon Construction 
Architect: Mode Design 
Project Completion: August 2023 
Decking Profile Used: FORM 130 Cedar Brown 

Te Mātāwai, located at 139 Greys Ave, is a significant housing development completed by Kāinga Ora in Auckland. As the largest single-site housing project in the area for many years, it features three interconnected towers providing 276 residential homes. Having a Homestar 7 rating in mind meant that Mode Design had to prioritise products and companies that shared a passion for sustainable buildings.   

The project faced several challenges, including the need for a custom aluminium subframe compatible with our decking, ensuring the product's availability throughout the project's phases, and the logistics of supplying materials to a large-scale development in the heart of Auckland’s CBD. 

BiForm was chosen for the Te Mātāwai project due to its commitment to sustainability, with our decking made from 30% recycled plastic and 60% FSC Certified timber. Our technical support throughout the design and installation process, including custom solutions, proved invaluable. Additionally, the low maintenance requirements of our decking and our ability to supply products efficiently and on time made BiForm the ideal choice.  

BiForm Composite Decking played a crucial role in the successful completion of Te Mātāwai, a flagship project in the heart Auckland CBD. Our sustainable and low-maintenance products contributed to creating spaces that foster community connection and support. The project stands as a testament to our ability to deliver high-quality, environmentally responsible solutions for large-scale urban developments.
