Selected Project
Esplanade Heights Apartments
This unique development threw a lifeline to a 125-year-old Category B Historic building that had been left to decline for decades. The striking façade has been painstakingly restored, with the addition of extensive seismic strengthening and four modern, three-bedroom apartments carefully inserted into the historic fabric. Decorative interior details were retained and preserved, now celebrated in the final outcome. The stained-glass windows and decorative bracing were refurbished and the wide Kauri boards that used to line the ceiling have become incredible feature floorboards. Resurrecting a derelict building on a prominent corner, this project is a testament to the importance of renovation and restoration, bringing new life to Auckland’s Architectural Heritage and giving these precious buildings a new purpose in the modern world.
