Hyde Lane Apartments have been crafted to create a contextually responsive insertion into Wellington’s Courtenay Place historic precinct.

Planning provides an array of typologies and apartment sizes optimising city to harbour views. Balconies enhance indoor/outdoor connections, while interior colour schemes blend natural finishes with simple and refined colour palettes.

At Elysian, quality is expressed through a sophisticated and elegantly restrained material palette. Stone, is the hero of the building, chosen for its raw charm and integrity. The stone is paired with sleek black metal and bronze joinery, providing contrast and lustre to the building’s exterior.

A development that breaks the conventions of its adjacent apartment developments best defines the project brief. An “iconic” building was required to provide 64 apartments approximately 45m2 in size, each with a balcony together with high-end kitchens and bathrooms.

Kōtuitui in Māori means ‘to connect’, a name gifted by Te Ākitai Waiohua to the development. These homes connect to mana whenua, to the land, to the community, the landscape and the city. The intention was to create a new connected community in the affordable, social sector of the housing market. Kōtuitui is a collection of two, three and four bedroom terrace homes, that are distinctive and have an individual character.

Boathouse Bay is a medium density development situated at the north end of the Snells Beach settlement, north of Auckland. Crosson architects created the masterplan and designed a series of housing types to create a unique coastal community. The design reflects a traditional boatshed gable typology, with a reinterpreted contemporary take on building forms and materials.

Designed specifically to house super annuitants, Marshall Court is respectful of its local neighbourhood, providing residents with a safe, secure and modern living environment while improving the quality of their lives. The complex is adaptable and fully accessible to suit the evolving needs of its residents.

Lakeside West apartments forms part of the large resort complex, Kawarau Falls station, situated on a north-facing shore of picturesque Lake Wakatipu.

The Regent Park development was challenged to provide an exemplar of current social housing development. The development successfully optimises density without compromising amenity - Regent Park housing is modern, safe, secure, durable, healthy and affordable. The variety of housing types achieves a more integrated fit within the local neighbourhood and assists in merging the development within the physical and social patterns of the local community.

The project brief focussed on creating modern medium density housing designed in accordance with best practice urban design principles. These embodied creating safer communities, sustainable design solutions and community engagement within a framework of close co-operation between local and central government agencies.

This Parnell sanctuary offers contemporary inner-city living in one of Auckland’s most coveted suburbs. It’s one of two new houses on a shared site occupied by two young families.
