About Us
About B:HIVE.
Since opening in 2017, B:HIVE has become home to over 120 businesses and a passionate community of more than 1,200 Members.
B:HIVE HQ was designed by award winning architects BVN and Jasmax to create an experience that makes everyone proud to call the B:HIVE their home away from home. Judges from the World Architecture Festival voted B:HIVE the Best Office Interior in the World in 2019 while juries here in New Zealand and Australia thought our building deserved another 7 awards across architecture and interior design.
We are pleased to announce that as of November 2022 the B:HIVE building achieved a NABERS rating of 5.5 stars, which is evidence of our commitment to reducing our environmental impact.
In 2025, B:HIVE+ will open on Levels 1 and 2 of AIA House, Smales Farm. Here, members will enjoy the level of quality that B:HIVE is synonymous with, along with the full suite of B:HIVE benefits.

Designed for our community
B:HIVE is designed to be flexible and connected to nature.
The design philosophy of B:HIVE HQ has sustainability as a key idea behind how the building was built through to how the B:TEAM operate it today. Many of the same principles have been applied to the design of B:HIVE+, set to open its doors in March 2025.
Watch Greg Smale and BVN principal architect James Grosse talk about their vision for the first B:HIVE space, B:HIVE HQ.
Architecturally Designed
“While the B:HIVE is warm and fuzzy on the inside, the outside is sharp, deliberate and all about technology” James Grose, Principal at BVN Architects.
Every single detail of the B:HIVE has been thought about and designed, it’s not often that guttering look this good.
The open-air atrium pours natural light into all floors, so everyone knows what time it is and what the weather’s doing outside.
If ever there was a good reason to take the stairs, then this is it.
High quality furniture from premium brands were selected because they’re comfortable, look good and will last a long time.
