Meridian apartments

This iconic slender building is located in the heart of the city. a tough site, very narrow and long with a westerly aspect, it is tucked behind a vehicular bridge.

The light filled studios, one and two bedroom apartments in central Auckland, are raised on a podium to realise the sweeping views over the harbour and Freeman’s Bay. The apartments are organised in a regular grid affording a simplicity in construction. Built in the 1990’s it is one of the most recognisable buildings in the area with its lively articulation and playful bursts of colour.
