2025 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
The Point (2000)
Twenty-five years on, The Point apartments are still an exemplar for how this type of building should be done. As a response to the poor quality of apartments being designed and constructed in the late 1990s, Moller Architects decided this apartment building would be different. Livable spaces, intuitive and generous circulation and expansive outdoor rooms that properly function were part of the manifesto. Defining and activating an urban edge, the Point Apartments turn their harbourside location into a vibrant promenade. Deeply recessed verandahs, articulated by visually light steel structure with operable cedar screens provide privacy and climate control for the apartments' occupants while dynamically enriching the public realm.
