Located in West Auckland, the Country Club Huapai sets a new standard of luxury for the retirement living sector.
The development includes the construction of 40 buildings varying in size and scale. Ignite was tasked by the client with the master planning and architectural design of all of those buildings and the semi-rural site, which was previously the home of the Nobilo winery and bottling plant.
As befitting the name, The Country Club Huapai creates an idyllic and elegant country club setting. Villas and Apartments provide independent living and are placed throughout the site to complement the site’s contours. Each will be spacious and feature a high-end fit-out. While the amenities building provides the lifestyle and activity that epitomizes luxury. The on-site care building also allows a continuation of being able to age in place, in a familiar and safe environment.
