The Sound of Great Retail Design

You’re invited to an evening with the NZRIA, hosted by Acoustic Solutions Store at 1 Albert Street, The Commons, on Thursday 19 November at 5:30pm.

Your welcome drink and platters are on us as we settle in for an evening of great design, industry insights and good company.

We’re excited to welcome Mark Gascoigne, one of our 2026 RED Awards judges, who will be sharing an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at this year’s judging process.

Mark is a registered architect with over 25 years of hands-on experience, having worked on the design of more than 1,000 shops across New Zealand and internationally. As Managing Director of Walker Architects, he is passionate about great design and championing creativity and innovation.

Mark will share the ins and outs of judging, the standout projects that caught the panel’s attention, and what ultimately set the 2026 Supreme Award winner apart from the rest.

We’ll then hear from…
