A design guide was prepared for both Silverstream Estates and Waimakariri District Council as a method for ensuring good design principles were adopted for high density residential development in Silverstream Estates, Kaiapoi West. The overall development had been approved subject to each medium density development being treated as a comprehensive development plan, with Council retaining full discretion on all facets of the design. To assist both parties, we were appointed to develop a set of design principles which could apply to the residents to improve variation and amenity while still providing a degree of unity.

“Dave and the team at DCM Urban Design were great to work with on this project which culminated in the launch of the Hastings Residential Intensification Design Guide in February 2021. The Design Guide has been well received by the development community in Heretaunga. DCM’s 3D images demonstrating how key design elements can be incorporated into development projects are an excellent way to communicate this information visually. These images along with DCM’s sketches and illustrations showing what the future development potential of existing sites and buildings could be, have inspired the development community in Hastings. DCM’s willingness to ‘go the extra mile’ has enabled us to produce a document that we are extremely proud of and one that is stimulating new ways to provide housing in Hastings.”
