2021 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
FABRIC Apartments - Stage 1
From the street, Fabric cuts a beautiful silhouette, and its sawtooth and mono-pitched roofs keep step with the industrial character of Onehunga. The project achieves so much by getting the basics right. Simple repetition, façade cadence, a restrained material palette, and building massing results in a development that achieves a neighbourhood feel while attaining the required yield. Clever unit planning and orientation allows maximum access to sunlight and creates an overall sense of well-being. The generously landscaped podium not only deals with the problem of cars but makes a communal amenity for those lucky enough to call Fabric home. Solving the housing crisis means building more developments like Fabric.
