In the heart of Ponsonby Road, this unrealised project explores a classic yet bold approach to apartment living.
Classic red brick, a nod to Auckland’s architectural history, is used across the exterior of these residential and retail dwellings.
These four buildings individually address the four edges of this property, Ponsonby Road, Williamson Avenue, Brown Street and Browns Reserve with various solutions. Typologies include retail, office and upper floor apartments through to walk-up terraced housing.
Sitting boldly, these buildings don’t shy away from their prominent position on the bustling and vibrant Ponsonby Road. Bold details and clean lines create a structural silhouette on the skyline.
Tucked away inside is a lush internal courtyard of various exterior recreation areas,, lined with lofty palms, tropical plants and ambient water features. This green oasis is private and peaceful. Insulated from the outdoor street noise, it offers a grounding moment between the residences and city life outside.
