Long Bay Terraces
  • Project Terraces / Multi-unit
  • Status Completed
  • Location Long Bay, North Shore
Universal Homes commissioned Construkt to design eight townhouses at Long Bay, a new coastal development on Auckland’s North Shore. The three- and four-bedroom homes range in size from 180-230sqm on 195-350sqm sites.

The townhouses are arranged in two blocks of four. All north-facing homes, they enjoy 180 degree views of Long Bay; their contemporary design takes full advantage of the sun and the outlook, including floor to ceiling windows.

The brief was to produce an aesthetic, high-quality product that was economical to build. While the floor plans of the two blocks are the same, their forms differ, providing variation across the street. The site’s topology informed the design – a gradual increase in gradient to the west meant the pitched roof design was tailored to suit accordingly.

Considerable thought went into creating clean detailing and minimising building connections. A palette of brick and vertical board-and-batten cladding, and aluminium joinery was chosen to suit the demanding marine environment.
