2010 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Patent 326 Apartments
The side of a south-facing hill is not the easiest site to tackle, but here the architects and developer have succeeded in producing a range of quality dwellings with liveable spaces, stunning views and ingenious arrangements to maximise sunlight. External faces are respectably clad in veils of softly weathered zinc and timber over a clearly legible structure. The building contains a flexibility of modulation that allows movement and change to relieve the fa�ades. While the development has maximised the amount of units possible on this site, public spaces are generous and don�t feel constrained.
