Through the looking glass - Vodafone Head Office
Few Aucklanders would have failed to notice the expansive Vodafone Head Office in Fanshaw Street, Auckland. With a predominantly glass exterior, the building presents a moving billboard for commuter traffic waiting patiently at the adjacent light controlled intersection.

Most however would not know that Resene is part of the billboard they are watching. The impressive glass façade is accompanied by dashes of Resene X-200 Waterproofing Membrane on non-glassed areas, while inside Resene Zylone SpaceCote decorates the walls. The piece de resistance is the extensive network of steelwork finished in Resene Imperite I.F. 503 Metallic tinted to the industrial Resene Blast Grey 2 (metallic charcoal). The coarse metallic grey is a perfect complement to the bold Vodafone red, reminiscent of the sleek metallic facades of Vodafone technologies.

Such is the nature of glass that one wonders when the commuter traffic is busy looking in, are Vodafone staff looking out?
