The promotions of Michelle Teutenberg, Nicola Greville and Sarah Bryant to Principal, and Natasha Baumgartner, Ornela Priotti, and James Suter to Associate within Wingate’s teams have been announced.

Teutenberg has played a huge role in the growth of Wingates over the past 3 years, says the practice, leading many of their commercial architecture projects whilst also establishing herself as a vital part of their Bay of Plenty presence. Her experience and dedication to clients and the Wingates business, they say, has seen her become a valued mentor for their expanding team in their Tauranga studio.

Greville’s journey with Wingates began over six years ago and has seen her progress from architectural designer to Associate and now to Principal, leading and managing the team who deliver many of Wingates large format projects for clients such as Foodstuffs. Her creativity, passion, attention to detail and first-rate service to clients are things Wingates say they are most grateful for.

Bryant’s promotion to Principal within the interior and workplace sectors of Wingates comes after an impressive year which has seen the Wingates interiors team work alongside many occupiers seeking positive workplace change. The design-thought, creativity and strategy that she has brought to their clients, says Wingates, have been widely appreciated both externally and internally.

On Baumgartner becoming an Associate, Wingates says is well-deserved, seeing she is a lynchpin for the whole team and a hardworking natural creative designer. Baumgartner has led numerous projects across their sectors with huge success, garnering positive feedback from clients, the wider industry and especially the Wingates whanau.

Priotti has achieved much during her close-to five year career with Wingates, including becoming a professional teaching fellow at the University of Auckland and playing a key role in Architecture + Women NZ. Wingates says her promotion to Associate is a testament to the passion, hard work and dedication she provides every day.

Suter joined Wingates earlier this year to contribute his professional experience to their large format and commercial teams and has been busy working on a number of multi-sector architectural projects across the country, says the practice. His promotion Wingates says, is due to his exceptional attention to detail and passion for delivering excellence.
