This project was a design and build project completed with Kalmar construction acting as the main contractor and greenstone group as project managers.

​

The project created a 60-apartment residential complex, with ground-floor retail space for two of the four street frontages. Built-in four blocks with courtyard parking to screen it from the street, it addresses the street environment and provides a neighbourhood centre for the burgeoning Hobsonville point community.

​

Drawing on the concept of a warehouse conversion in a former military-industrial complex, the design sought to use simple massing with introduced feature components and facade rhythm to break the building down to the human scale.

​

The use of traditional facade proportions in a contemporary fashion has provided a design that resonates with its surroundings.
