Auckland CBD

The building has been broken into two blocks as a result of having frontages to both Dock and Halsey Streets.

Block 1

Larger units face west over Halsey Street and Victoria Park and smaller more affordable units face Dock Street. Although splitting the building into two blocks makes construction more expensive it also allows for all units to be dual aspect gaining more rooms with exterior windows.

Block 4
Block 5

A central courtyard space is then bounded on the south by circulation and overlooked by various units. The north and south façades are solid by nature due to fire rating requirements. The east and west façades incorporate fritted glass balustrades to maximise outlook. Vertical metal fins are used to simplify, consolidate, and accentuate the vertical façade.
