Park Green is a new masterplanned community in South Auckland that spans over 97 hectares. The brief requested a user friendly document that would provide guidance for the design of new homes and surrounding landscaping.

This new community aspires to be a high quality neighbourhood that responds to its surrounding natural environment. Being a new development in a growing area, a challenge was to avoid an outcome with unconsidered houses that do not consider their appeal from the street or relate to their encompassing environment.

The guidelines are a tool to align all purchasers, designers and builders to achieve the outcome of a high-quality living environment that inspires a sense of community. It gives advice about site design, character, architectural design, and landscape design. With a balanced mix of text and carefully selected images, it is an easy to use document, which purchasers have been able to refer to whilst designing their new homes.
