Nero Tapware Experience Centre Fit-Out at Mico Christchurch

Designing and Delivering a Custom Nero Tapware Experience Centre

Client: Nero Tapware
Retail Partner: Mico New Zealand
Location: Montréal Street, Christchurch
Scope: Experience centre design, custom fabrication, display integration, logistics, installation and compliance

Transforming an Existing Showroom Environment

This project focused on reshaping an existing Mico showroom into a dedicated Nero Tapware experience centre, without removing the surrounding store fit-out. Working within a fixed retail environment required careful planning, precision measurement and a clear understanding of how Nero’s brand should live within the space.

Rather than starting from a blank canvas, we designed the solution to work around permanent showroom elements, integrating seamlessly into the centre of the store while maintaining clear circulation and visibility from all angles.

Reuse, Repurpose, Refine

A key objective was to reuse and repurpose existing Nero display assets wherever possible. Selected expo and showroom components were retained, re-engineered and combined with newly fabricated elements to create a refined, purpose-built centre.

This approach reduced waste, shortened lead times and ensured consistency across Nero’s national showroom presence, while still delivering a tailored result for this location.

Custom Fabrication and Product Integration

The experience centre was fabricated to showroom grade, combining custom joinery, timber finishes, acrylic elements, textured wall surfaces and precision product mounting. Each product board and display zone was designed to support hands-on engagement while maintaining a calm, architectural aesthetic.

Every fitting position, spacing and mounting detail was planned with Nero’s product range in mind, ensuring displays were intuitive for customers and practical for ongoing retail use.

Auckland-Based Build, Seamless Delivery to Christchurch

The experience centre was designed and fabricated in Auckland, then transported and installed in Christchurch with full point-to-point delivery. Every component was pre-planned, labelled and packed to ensure efficient installation with minimal disruption to store operations.

This national delivery capability allows Nero to deploy consistent, high-quality showroom environments across New Zealand, without compromise on finish or execution.

Built for Longevity and Responsible Delivery

The Nero experience centre has been designed for long-term use, future reconfiguration and adaptability as product ranges evolve. Reused assets reduced material waste, and all fuel and new materials associated with the project were carbon-offset through Trees That Count.

A Trusted Partner Beyond Fabrication

This project reflects our role as more than a display builder. We work closely with our clients to understand their products, customers and retail environments, allowing us to add value through planning, detailing and execution.

The result is a showroom-grade experience centre that strengthens brand presence, supports sales conversations and integrates seamlessly into an existing retail space.
