FARADAYS

Something wonderful is taking shape on Queen Street. We're proud to share the first look at Faradays — a reimagining of one of Auckland's most storied landmarks, brought to life by the visionary team at Fearon Hay Architects. "We've approached Faradays as a conversation between past and present, honouring the character and craftsmanship of this Queen Street landmark, while gently introducing something new. The result is a layered experience, where each level reveals a different mood, and where the building's history becomes part of the journey." — Jeff Fearon, Fearon Hay Architects From the very beginning, the ambition has been to create something the city has never quite seen before. As Edward von Dadelszen shares: "A space that is globally inspired while remaining deeply connected to Auckland. Beautifully balanced — modernity within a stunning heritage building, refined yet inviting." From the ground floor to the basement and up to our luxury level, every detail has been considered. The names already drawn to Faradays reflect that — and we can't wait to share more. The journey begins soon. #Faradays #Auckland #HeritageDesign #LuxuryRetail QueenStreet ComingSoon Architecture NewZealand
