Our Spaces to Create

Our Sandbox

To be truly innovative you need a place to experiment, to play, to build things and break things.

Our Sandbox is an open space that lets creativity flourish. Our design team recognised the potential for an open source creative hub in the middle of one of New Zealand's fastest growing and energetic places. By channelling the beautiful environment and the wider network of creative talent that flows through the Bay of Plenty, we’ve created an innovation-laboratory for new discoveries, original perspectives, and rapid maker-acceleration of fresh ideas.

We also have a Sandbox studio in the United Kingdom which means our team is on 24/7.

Rapid Prototyping

Our special effects centre.
A workshop for inventing.

Virtuo FX is our applied prototyping workshop for industry sensitive ideas. It’s an environment to build, test and develop new ideas quickly and confidentially.

What we can do

We are driven to stay at the forefront of inspiring technology, novel materials and technical equipment. Virtuo FX has enabled us to work with a plethora of mediums including textiles, timbers, polymers, foams, metals, ceramics as well as a range of emerging biomaterials.
