About
Site: 885m2, 2 lot subdivision
Building Footprint: 290m2 each
Living just across the street from the site, our client knew exactly what she wanted for the development: 3 three storey detached homes with luxurious views on the upper floors out towards Rangitoto and the bay with plenty of glazing to soak in the summer sun. X studio helped her to build and realise this vision, proposing a set of modern, high end units clad in contemporary materials and fitted with Louvre screens to achieve shading and privacy.
Whilst a lot of our projects push for higher densification and greater number of lots per subdivision, the brief for this development went in the opposite direction and transitioned from a 4 lot proposal down to 3 three-storey detached homes. This strategic decision was set after a bulk and location study revealed the over-densification of the site should the 4 units have been built - it was too cramped with tight and narrow corridors squeezed under towering structures.
This, along with the context of the prestigious St Heliers area, called for a subdivision which catered to the higher end market. Therefore, a 3 storey, 3 units proposal fit the brief perfectly. Clad in contemporary materials and fitted with privacy screens, the project takes full advantage of its mixed housing urban zone by extending vertically and spacing out all the units to offer luxurious views on the upper floors out towards Rangitoto Island
