Sargeson Apartments

Takapuna, New Zealand

Due to its great location, the units were designed to maximise the outlook and privacy.

 
The two towers from below, glazing and dark panel against the sky
 
The building from the street, five levels stepped above a white base
The pool at the foot of the block, with the balconies stacked above it
 
Looking up the slot between the towers, balconies picked out in colour
Timber against dark panel on the tower corner, a quality material used sparingly
The gap between the blocks from below, windows angled up the wall


Our commission was to provide a master plan of the entire block consisting of eight apartment blocks. The first stage consisted of 2 of our highly efficient and compact apartment towers. The design has a central core minimising the common space and helping gain maximum returns for the developer. Due to its great location, the units were designed to maximise the outlook and privacy. The careful use of economic materials with a few quality natural highlight materials provides an elegant building with a distinctive New Zealand presence.
