About

The 2-storey Farming House complex borders Market Street South and Lyndon Road, adjacent to the Hastings city CBD, and was designed by highly regarded New Zealand architects, Warren and Mahoney. 

It is constructed of natural and enduring materials including basalt stone and slate, zinc, tinted low-emissivity glass, and pre-cast concrete.  High-end interior finishes complement the commercial areas and feature artworks by prominent local and national artists.

Office premises are accessed from two double story glass enclosed atriums and there is on site carparking.

Organisations and companies residing in Farming House include Ministry of Justice (Māori Land Court and Public Defence Service), Findex NZ, New Zealand Police, Explore Wellbeing, MYOB, Starboard Group, Finance NZ and Brownrigg Agriculture. In addition, there is the on-site Colab Café, further enhancing the well-connected and professional environment.
