The architectural design of Residences takes full advantage of the north-facing view of Auckland Harbour. The wide-open elevation ensures that residents can enjoy panoramic vistas from various parts of the house. The design is focused on creating an extended living area from inside to exterior. The project features a well-thought-out bedroom layout, comprising two double bedrooms and two master rooms with ensuites. Each room is meticulously designed to provide privacy, comfort, and ample space for relaxation. The ensuites are elegantly designed, offering a touch of luxury and convenience to the residents.
This residence incorporates a unique structural design to accommodate the significant slope of the land. The house is constructed with two separate slabs where embrace the natural contours of the terrain by locating slabs on upper slope and lower slope. This design element not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures structural integrity and stability. To create a striking visual contrast and exude a sense of luxury and modernity, two installation profiles of ABODO timber cladding have been implemented.
The cladding, in collaboration with a light colour steel roofing, adds a sleek and sophisticated touch to the overall design. This combination of materials gives the house an impressive and contemporary look and easy maintenance.
Generally, this house testament to exceptional architectural vision and meticulous attention to detail. It offers a unique opportunity to experience the urban living with its spacious layout, stunning views, and luxurious features.
