Project by
Archaus Architects
Year of completion
2023
Client
Maurice and Kaye Clark

The project was initiated and built by Maurice and Kaye Clark through the Kirva Trust. It is named Te Ki a Alasdair and provides 75 new homes for people with complex needs, integrated with full on-site support. The building provides high-quality and sustainable long-term housing options with features like central heating, central hot water through solar panels, photovoltaic panels and use of thermal mass. Each unit has great natural light and a balcony.

The exterior cladding in various hues of green creates a vibrant focal point in Te Aro. The historic Chinese Mission Hall sits directly next to the building and will undergo strengthening and refurbishing. The remainder of the site towards Taranaki Street will be turned into a new public park to complete the transformation of this area.

About the
Professional

Archaus, led by directors Mike Cole, Dennis Burns, Chad McMan, and Christian Bertschinger work closely to deliver a diverse range of architectural and interior design projects, from commercial and industrial developments to multi-unit residential, concentrating on cost effective results with a focus on innovative solutions. We provide designers who are comfortable working on any development, creating design solutions that excite and fulfill client demands. All of our projects are addressed with the utmost focus and determination.

A leader in the adoption of computer 3D modelling and BIM, Archaus has developed the byline of ARCHITECTURE + BIM, where the opportunities and capabilities of each complement and enhance each other, leading to better outcomes for designer and client. Computer-generated visualisations are also produced in-house. Our stunning images and animations can be used for massing studies, material selection, consent applications and marketing.

Our merge with the team in Auckland to form Paterson Cullen Archaus (PCA) means that we share a wealth of skills and knowledge, a stronger design team and a more diverse portfolio of capability.

We look forward to sharing our skills and knowledge.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
