2025 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
One Saint Stephens
This was a challenging context in which to insert a building of this scale. Bounded on one side by an iconic cathedral and situated on a prominent ridge with views to the Auckland War Memorial Museum in one direction and the Waitematā Harbour in the other, One Saint Stephens employs recessed corner verandahs to reduce its bulk and activate its street presence. Glazed vertical elements further diminish the building's scale while delivering full-height panoramic views to the apartments' occupants. Material selections imbue the building with a sense of permanence and timelessness.
