Pic’s Peanut Butter World is a purpose-built destination for locals and visitors to Nelson and a must-do for lovers of peanut butter.
The building’s design is a physical expression of the Pic’s brand personality – vibrant and innovative.
Designed to cater for future growth and act as a showcase for the company, the 3500m² building houses a generous 500m² foyer featuring an attention-grabbing spiral staircase and public café, offices, and exhibition and tour mezzanine overlooking the working factory.
The building features a pair of gables, one recessed and solid for the loading canopy, and the other highly transparent with a glazed curtain wall on the street front, which acts as shop front.
The building purposely sits close to the street edge, directly interacting with the city.
Bold colour is used playfully throughout public and administrative spaces.
