GRUMLEY + COMPANY
Interior Architecture + Furniture and Object Curation : Office Space
Auckland : New Zealand
Grumley + Company is a leading business advisory firm that has guided over 200 New Zealand and Australian enterprises through strategic growth and transformation. Designed by Studio 11:11, the new headquarters in Ponsonby, Auckland, is a reflection of Founder Toss Grumley’s deep commitment to creativity, excellence, and aspiration.
Conceived as a multifunctional environment, the space seamlessly blends a gallery, event venue and workplace. It showcases a curated collection of local artisan products, finishes, and furniture, each with a distinct story, yet thoughtfully unified in a narrative-driven design. At the heart of the space is Grumley's impressive personal art collection which anchors the interior and fosters a setting for creative contemplation and meaningful discussions.
A series of sliding metal screens around the boardroom offers both functionality and flexibility, modulating transparency and privacy as needed. For functions the screens and the glass doors retract back, opening up the floor plan and leaving a single marble column as a central focal point.
This space acts as a physical expression of its founder’s character and philosophy - contemplative, refined, approachable, and subtly unconventional. The result is more than a place of business, it stands as a source of ongoing inspiration.
