Aurora is taking shape in Hamilton’s Peacocke growth area. Construkt’s involvement began with the neighbourhood masterplan and has continued into the design of housing across several superlots. The work includes standalone homes, duplexes and terraces, with some completed and others still underway.

The homes respond to different lots and street settings within the wider plan. Pitched roofs and a mix of brick, timber and light-coloured cladding give the streets a varied residential character. Planting and defined front boundaries help the homes sit within their neighbourhood.

Across the superlots, Construkt’s work extends from the design of individual homes to the review of proposals by other designers. Karl Barker undertakes these reviews to help maintain design quality as Aurora develops. Together, the architecture and review work carry the intent of the masterplan through to individual sites.
