Coastal charm with city convenience
Winner 2022 ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Awards - Commended

Situated only a road across the beautiful beach of Browns Bay, the old New World Supermarket was demolished to make room for this apartment of 64-units. The generously sized apartments have large balconies to relax in the sun, plenty of storage for the beach umbrella, and full-sized kitchens to cook for the whole family.

The Victor’s modern palette of patterned concrete, black metal, grooved timber and frameless glass is a bold step forward for Browns Bay. Whether viewed from the Esplanade or the Clyde Road retail strip, the development redefines the village skyline. The mass of the bui9lding is broken down by stepping the penthouse level back from the main northern façade, and a sawtooth roof form gives a residential scale to the western façade. An expansive lobby opens to a soaring atrium lined with green walls and criss-crossed by access bridges, along with a covered courtyard on level one for the exclusive use of residents.

About the
Professional

Archi-ON is an Auckland-based architectural design practice founded and directed by Anthony Lee. As architectural designers, we believe that high quality design results from the continuity of the design process to the intensive dialogues with the clients, consultants, contractors, and end users. We work closely together to ensure the best results are achieved through the synthesis of concept, beauty, and functional integration.

We take the approach that each client has their own story to express through the medium of our architecture. Each design is unique, forming the perfect fit for your tastes and lifestyle. With your requirements as a starting point, we bring our understanding of site and context to each design.

We cover a wide range of building types including residential, terraced housing, apartments, commercial and shop fitouts. It is important to us that you enjoy your experience with us, that you know you are listened to and that your needs are met, both in our process and in our design solutions.

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.
