Ko te whainga o te  hoahoa kia tutuki ngā aheinga pakupaku o te wāhi rā. Ahakoa e rua ngā mata o tēnei whare, tētahi kei ia huarahi, kei te taha rawhiti e tū ana te nuinga o te whare o ‘Spark’ e whakamōrea te kounga o tēnei whare. Kua whakahauruatia tēnei wharetō kia aro ki ia takiwā ki ngā huarahi e rua. Ki te taha hauāuru ngā whare rahi, he nui ake te utu hoki, ki tērā atu taha o te tairawhiti kia riro mai te maha ake o ngā kopa he pihanga ō waho. Nā te whakahaurua i tēnei hoahoanga ka whakanui ake te utu kia hanga, engari ko te hua pai he whārahi te kirimōhinu. Kei waenganui he ātea mo ngā taunekeneke mai ia whare matua. I ahu mai te auahatanga o tēnei wharetō mai i ēnei ahuatanga ōkiko. Kei Te Hororoa, e rua ngā wahanga kua wāwahihia ake hai poutū kia tua pai ai te hanga o te tuāpapa. Waihoki e toru ngā wahanga i wāwahihia ake e whakaatu ana ngā poutū ki Waiatarau.

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 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.
