The Sir Howard Morrison Centre (SHMC) in Rotorua stands as a testament to the art of balancing historical preservation with modern functionality. Originally constructed in 1938 as the Rotorua Municipal Building, the structure’s Spanish Mission-style architecture has been a defining feature of the city's Civic Centre for decades. However, this iconic building has undergone several transformations, the most recent of which has seamlessly integrated the legacy of Sir Howard Morrison with contemporary architectural practices, culminating in a revitalised performing arts venue that reflects Rotorua's rich cultural tapestry.

Given how prominent vibrant colours are among today’s top trends, having a handle on these hues has become much more important in recent years.

Justine’s mural for Wild Things can’t be missed. Not only does the work provide visual cues to what potential customers can expect to find, she attractively incorporated the shop’s name as part of her design – eliminating the need for traditional signage. The mural was created using Resene Lumbersider Low Sheen tinted to Resene Broom and a wide range of Resene colours.

In contemporary design, timber is far more than just a structural element; it’s a canvas for creative expression. From flooring and wall panelling to furniture and joinery, wood surfaces bring depth, texture and a sense of permanence to a space. However, it’s the finishing products that we apply to these surfaces that truly define how the timber we use in our projects performs and presents over time. Click the link to discover how to take your interior timber surfaces to the next level with Resene wood products: https://www.habitatbyresene.co.nz/specifiers/take-your-interior-timber-surfaces-to-the-next-level-with-these-resene-wood-products
