Passive Fire Protection in New Zealand’s First IKEA Store
Contractor: Naylor Love
Passive Fire NZ is proud to be the passive fire protection contractor for New Zealand’s first IKEA store, a landmark 34,000m² build at Sylvia Park, Auckland. Working alongside Naylor Love, our team of experts installed cutting edge fire stopping solutions in the three-level structure.
Due to the brand’s focus on sustainability, the building boasts a 5 Green Star rating which aligns well with our ISO 14001 accreditation and best-practise operations Passive Fire NZ are renowned for. The site also incorporates advanced seismic resilience with 4,800 tonnes of structural steel, which is double the typical amount for most IKEA stores around the globe, due to New Zealand’s stringent earthquake protection regulations. This made it a complex and rigorous execution for our team of install experts and project managers as they navigated the vast retail zones, complete with in-store restaurant.
Passive Fire NZ delivered compliant, high-performance fire protection solutions tailored to this complex, large-format environment. Working alongside leading construction partners, we ensured safety and compliance across all fire-rated systems, contributing to a build that sets a new benchmark for retail spaces in Aotearoa and the home-wares loving public.
