This project, Gravity X Entertainment fitout, won a Silver Award at the New Zealand Commercial Project Awards this year, 2026!
Congratulations to NCA Architecture for producing such a beautiful design! We were pleased to be involved in the project as the project fire engineer.
Gravity X Entertainment introduces New Zealand’s first integrated indoor skiing and surfing facility, combining high-performance sport, dining, and social spaces within one complex. Bringing snow slopes and wave-generating pools together under one roof required careful coordination of structure, mechanical services, fire safety, and specialist international equipment. Energy-intensive plant and advanced water systems were integrated without compromising the design intent or project budget. Water recycling supports both snowmaking and surfing operations, while efficient lighting and high-performance insulation help reduce ongoing energy demand. The result is a technically ambitious recreation facility delivered safely and on programme, demonstrating how complex engineering, immersive design, and disciplined execution can come together in a high-performance destination.
