2024 has been one for the books at UNO Windows & Doors! From Auckland to Wellington and everywhere in between, we've had the pleasure of working on some incredible multi-residential and commercial projects across New Zealand. Each of these jobs brought its own unique challenges and highlights, and we couldn’t be prouder of how they turned out. Here’s a look at a few of our favourite projects this year—each one showcasing our project capability, along with our dedication to providing a quality, efficient, and innovative product for our clients.
Albert St Townhouses: Speeding Up Build Time with a Creative Delivery Twist
The Albert St Townhouses project will always be a special one for us! We partnered with a great client, Andy McGowan from McMade Construction & the developer GibbonsCo to bring this project to life. What made this project so exciting? Our new delivery method is to deliver windows on pallets Watching Andy's face light up when he saw this innovative approach brought so much value to him & the project.
This pallet delivery not only sped up installation but being able to bring the delivery forward ahead of the construction programme and also shaved two weeks off Andy’s build timeline, making this project a true celebration of efficiency and adaptability.
Coromandel St Townhouses: A Quality Collaboration with Kainga Ora Housing
Working with Kainga Ora Housing on the Coromandel St Townhouses was especially meaningful. This project was about creating high-quality, affordable homes, and we were thrilled to support that mission. Our team went all out to ensure the precise manufacture of consistent, high-quality products. The result? Beautiful homes that meet Kainga OraHousing’s standards for functionality, sustainability, and style to meet the Homestar requirements. This type of project makes our team proud to play a role in such an important development.
Kapiti Terraces: Precision, Partnership, and Proud Moments
One of our favourite projects this year has to be the Kapiti Terraces Townhouses—a true showcase of teamwork, timing, and top-quality aluminium joinery! With a strict timeline to meet, our team pulled out all the stops to make sure every piece of our aluminium windows and doors arrived right on schedule, keeping the build on track and making life a lot easier for the builders on-site.
This project had a unique twist: multiple cladding types and different wall thicknesses across various blocks, making every detail count. But we love a good challenge! Our project management team worked closely with architects, builders, and all our partners to nail down the specs and confirm every selection in a smooth, systematic way. It’s that seamless collaboration that really brought the Kapiti vision to life.
Watching this large development come together was so rewarding, and it couldn’t have happened without the incredible teamwork from all stakeholders. From streamlining deliveries to perfecting every last detail, the Kapiti Terraces is a shining example of what we’re all about—precision, partnership, and creating stand-out solutions for New Zealand’s multi-residential projects.

We focused on sustainable design and strict adherence to New Zealand building codes, delivering solutions that not only enhanced the overall look of the townhouses but also bumped up their market value.

Barnard St: Turning Challenges into Triumphs
The Barnard St project wasn’t just about building three units—it was about tackling a tricky site and coming out on top! With unique site challenges at every turn, our team got creative, applying precise detailing and innovative solutions to keep everything on track. This project is a perfect example of our adaptability and commitment to delivering high-quality aluminium joinery, no matter the obstacles. From overcoming site-specific hurdles to hitting deadlines, Barnard St shows what’s possible when expertise and determination come together for outstanding results in multi-residential builds across New Zealand.
High-Profile Commercial Projects That Made a Mark
This year wasn’t just about residential projects—our team also had the pleasure of working on some stand-out commercial developments. These high-profile jobs allowed us to collaborate closely with architects and developers from the earliest stages, creating solutions that set these projects apart.
Te Ramanui o Ruapūtahanga: Building for Our Community's Future
The Te Ramanui project has been one of our most rewarding experiences this year. This community centre, with its unique architectural shape, is set to become a Taranaki landmark—a stand-out building that’s as inspiring as it is functional. From the early design stages, we worked closely with architects and developers, customising our aluminium joinery to suit the building's distinct form and vision. It’s incredible to know that our work will be part of a space for future generations to enjoy, and there’s a special pride in walking through our hometown and seeing our windows on such an iconic project.
Tesla Showroom: Precision Engineering Meets Modern Design
Working on the Tesla Showroom was a real highlight. From the early concept & planning stages, we collaborated with the architects, providing PS1 documentation and H1 construction R-value calculations to ensure the façade met New Zealand’s building code requirements. This project underscored our commitment to combining engineering precision with cutting-edge design, resulting in a space that embodies the innovation and quality both Tesla and UNO are known for.
