This project for Kāinga Ora required the replacement of 17 existing single houses with 34 new single & duplex units in a medium density redevelopment of the site. The project’s objective was to provide a modern, quality mixed-housing development for varying sized families in this suburban location handy to schools and shops.
Unit sizes range from 2 to 5-bedroom houses including several for the disabled. Completed in May 2008, the house designs are modular with common forms, materials and colours, to provide a visual coherency throughout the development. Major existing trees are retained to assist the development to blend with the surrounding neighborhood.
