From housing projects to farm supply stores, the UNO team has completed a variety of projects all around New Zealand.
In this article, we share some of our favourite projects to inspire you for your next project and see how our windows and doors look in various residential and commercial settings.
With such high demand for housing in Auckland, it’s no surprise that we have many partners building new residential developments in and around the city.
As the first multi-residential project for JLS Residential Ltd, this Henderson project called for our expertise and experience. With a tight timeframe for suppliers, efficiency and accuracy were paramount.
Named The Nest, this housing development features 8 townhouses perched on the edge of the Waitakere Ranges. To transform these homes into a residential haven, we supplied 46 window and door units from our residential suite.
The client chose a range of awning windows, sliding doors and hinged doors, each with clear double glazing and a Matt Appliance White Duralloy powdercoat finish.
Just down the street from The Nest, 22 James Laurie Street features another ideal residential design for modern living. The interior is complete with timber floors and minimal fixtures while the exterior is sleek and low maintenance.
Our main objective for the windows and doors was to maximise natural light and expansive views, while still creating a sense of privacy. The range of sliding doors and awning windows also makes it easy to create airflow and increase sunlight.
Just three hours away from our factory, Wellington is one of our most common project locations.
Our client approached UNO Windows & Doors to work alongside Designgroup Stapleton Elliot and Stackhouse & Firth to provide an effective solution for a brand new 25-townhouse development in Tawa, Wellington.
Going beyond the provision of 163 window & doors, UNO's expert design and spec team used unique in-house software to uncover efficiencies estimated to be approximately $20,000 to $25,000 worth of savings for the client through innovative configurations to the product design.
Tesla’s Wellington showroom, developed by GibbonsCo and designed by Novak Middleton, required a high-performance glass façade that aligned with the brand’s identity of innovation, sustainability, and cutting-edge design.
To achieve this, the showroom needed high-quality aluminium joinery, ensuring seamless aesthetics, energy efficiency, and compliance with New Zealand’s commercial building standards.
Duncan Commercial Construction approached UNO Windows & Doors to supply for a brand-new townhouse development with developers Te Āhuru Mōwai. Designed by Toa Architects Ltd, this large-scale build required a precise and efficient joinery solution to meet H1 thermal compliance standards while maintaining a high level of finish, functionality, and comfort for the residents.
Our team was brought on board for our proven track record in efficient product delivery, consistent communication, and precision manufacturing, ensuring the construction programme stayed on track and on budget.
We often supply windows and doors for various clients in the Waikato region. These are some of our favourite projects we have completed in the mighty Waikato.
This recent project for the University of Waikato was proof of our factory efficiency. With 117 window and door units required and a strict deadline, we had to work quickly to supply the units on time.
Completed in 2019, these student apartments on Silverdale Road are highly functional and durable. The joinery consists of awning windows, sliding doors, and hinge doors, all finished with a Matt Black powdercoat.
This Bidfood distribution centre in Hamilton was built to meet regional demands and support local suppliers. The objective of this new office and warehouse complex was to increase their capacity for product distribution within the North Island.
For this project, we worked with Q Construction, supplying aluminium windows and doors of commercial grade. It was also critical that they were installed accurately and on schedule so that the new site was ready for use.
We supplied and installed 22 shopfront units from our commercial suite. Each unit is complete with Stopsol double glazing for privacy, and finished with the Duralloy Silver Pearl Kinetic powdercoat finish.
The Hamilton Kmart store was a large project, with 6 window and door units supplied by UNO. The priority for this project was durability and functionality, ensuring the building was built to last in a commercial setting.
We manufactured and installed all 6 of the windows and door units from our commercial suite, this included large flushglaze shopfront and 3 auto doors. The selected colour was Silver Star, tying in with the rest of the building and the Kmart branding.
From our factory in Hāwera, we have worked on many exciting projects around the Taranaki region.
These contemporary townhouses in Strandon were designed with a focus on minimalism, practicality, and effortless elegance. The black exterior is striking against the pōhutukawa trees, with vertical louvres and cladding creating a subtle linear effect.
With so much exposure to coastal air, the joinery for this project needed to be durable. To achieve this, the UNO team used entrance doors, slider doors, and awning windows that are expertly designed to withstand the elements. This development features 24 window and door units in Matt Black powdercoat, one of our most popular key colours.
UNO was involved early in the planning stages offering key advice on glazing and UNO's commercial suite to produce the units that would comprise the project's façade. Using the colours and glass selected by Cleanline Tasman, we partnered with Attika and Chris Bell to provide an end-to-end solution.
We followed the project right through to installation, collaborating on window and façade junctions across the building and ensuring the project’s local requirements were met. This allowed us to streamline the installation process and give stakeholders peace of mind, with accurate specifications and efficient techniques.
The Wilson Street Development in Hāwera, designed by Cambie Architectural Design and built by RP Builders, required a joinery partner who could bring precision, clear communication, and attention to detail from start to finish.
UNO Windows & Doors partnered with the developer from the early design stages through to completion ensuring seamless coordination, accurate manufacturing, and a consistent finish across all homes.
This development also marks the 20th anniversary of collaboration between RP Builders and UNO, a testament of our commitment to delivering optimised end-to-end solutions and value to our trusted partners
Our innovative palletised delivery methods have unlocked exciting new opportunities at the heart of South Island's Canterbury region and beyond.
Commercial
Attika HQ
When renowned design and construction firm Attika set out to build their new Timaru headquarters, they partnered with trusted experts to deliver adaptable end-to-end solutions not just for windows and doors, but also for H1 compliance on a striking façade that reflects their bold commitment to excellence.
We produced 15 units, including automatic sliding doors, bifolds, and our Flushglaze product, all fitted with Grey Tinted Low E Lightbridge Double Glazing for superior thermal performance.
Building on successful collaborations like the Clearline Tasman project, we’re proud to continue our partnership with Attika as more architects and developers choose UNO for efficient commercial window and door solutions.

As a major project in the South Island, it highlights UNO’s expanding footprint and ability to deliver adaptable, seamless solutions across New Zealand.

Lakehouse Villas
Designgroup Stapleton Elliott and UNO join forces once again this time in the development of the luxurious multi-residential Lakehouse Villas development in Frankton, Queenstown following the success of the Five Mile Villas project,
The design of this premium architectural development required high-performing thermal solutions, delivered with confidence as UNO provided not only the aluminium joinery but also the design and specification support as part of a full-package solution.

Here at UNO, we love working on both commercial and residential projects. We are proud of our aluminium windows and doors – and for good reason. They’re tested to meet and exceed NZ Standards, they’re extremely durable, the frames are consistent across our entire range, and they’re easy to clean.
