Modern workplace design with flexibility, collaboration, and people at its core.
Europlan is stoked to have delivered the commercial office furniture fit-out for Wellington City Council’s new headquarters at 68 Jervois Quay, Wellington. This large-scale government workplace project bringing together approximately 1,200 staff from across three Council locations into one connected and future-focused environment.
Delivered alongside Design Group Stapleton Elliot (DGSE), the Wellington office fit-out supports Wellington City Council’s return to Te Ngākau Civic Precinct while embracing new ways of working through flexible workplace design, collaborative spaces, acoustic privacy solutions, and adaptable commercial office furniture.
The completed Wellington office fit-out blends collaborative workspaces, meeting areas, breakout environments, shared social spaces, and focused work zones within a welcoming and highly functional commercial interior. Designed to feel open, adaptable, and easy to work within, the space balances practicality with warmth, helping create an environment that supports both people and performance.
A standout feature of the project is the installation of 30 large-format acoustic office phone booths, creating dedicated spaces for focused work, online meetings, and quiet conversations within the open-plan workplace.

Project Scope
Europlan partnered with Wellington City Council and DGSE to deliver the workplace furniture fit-out for the Council’s new Wellington headquarters at 68 Jervois Quay, including the supply, staging, delivery, assembly, and installation of commercial office furniture throughout the workplace.
The fit-out included furniture solutions across collaborative spaces, meeting rooms, breakout areas, reception environments, kitchen settings, storage systems, acoustic work zones, and shared touchdown spaces. These supported flexible working and activity-based workplace design across the environment.
A key part of the project involved integrating new office furniture alongside retained and refurbished furniture from existing Council workplaces. This approach supported Wellington City Council’s sustainability objectives while creating a cohesive and consistent workplace experience throughout the fit-out.
From collaborative furniture and breakout seating through to acoustic office pods and shared workspace solutions, every area was designed to support the evolving needs of a modern government workplace.
Project Management
Delivering a commercial workplace fit-out of this scale within a live construction and relocation environment required careful coordination, flexibility, and a strong team approach from everyone involved.
To support staged occupancy requirements and evolving construction timelines, Europlan implemented a two-stage office furniture delivery and installation programme. All furniture was procured upfront and coordinated through Europlan’s Wellington warehousing and logistics network before being progressively released in line with site readiness and installation sequencing.
This staged delivery approach helped keep the wider programme moving while allowing flexibility around changing timelines, live site activity, and ongoing coordination with contractors and trades onsite.
Europlan’s Wellington-based project management team worked closely alongside DGSE, Wellington City Council, contractors, and installation teams throughout every stage of the fit-out. Site Safe accredited installers managed furniture delivery, assembly, positioning, packaging removal, and protection of completed workplace areas while coordinating within the active construction environment.
The result is a flexible and future-focused Wellington workplace designed to support collaboration, wellbeing, and new ways of working, while reflecting Europlan’s experience delivering large-scale commercial office fit-outs and workplace furniture projects across New Zealand.
