This mixed use development manages to accommodate 26 Basement Carparks, Ground Floor commercial tenancies, 51 Hotel rooms and 6 generous apartments on a small city fringe site on the North Shore in Auckland. Planning required that a large tree located on the street corner be retained and this has been used as an opportunity to split the building volume between the two adjacent streets. Natural light and room outlook has been enhanced with a rear courtyard and the facade includes high quality, low maintenance, large format sintered stone tiles.
