TAINUI AUCKLAND AIRPORT HOTEL - Novotel
Leading on from one of our earlier stories, FGS Metalwork was recently in the papers again for work it has completed, this time at the newly opened Novotel at Auckland airport which was finished for the Rugby world Cup 2011.
FGS Metalwork recently completed an architectural revolving feature wall to provide screening in the private dinning room area. The screening stands over 6.2 meters high.

….another example is the 6.2-metre tall tukutuku panels that screen off a private dining room. Keen commissioned Hudson Wilton of FGS Metalwork to make the panels which are decorated with diamond patiki in an eco-resin. The patiki symbol is taken from the lozenge shape of the flounder and so, in Maori culture, signifies an abundance of fish. Each screen needed four people to carry it into position. "It was an amazing feat of engineering that they don't bow and that they pivot so smoothly."
