This 4500m2 project sits on the original Palmers Garden Centre in West Auckland. Neighbour permission was obtained to transform the site into a fresh and vibrant hub with a mix of housing and retail typologies.
Our design brief was to provide an "Urban Village" which included apartment and terraced house living options alongside retail offerings including a daycare and gym.
This has resulted in a successful mix of typologies that share a common asthetic theme.
