Construkt Architects designed Proxima Residences, a nine-level apartment building on a former light industrial site in Eden Terrace, Auckland. The project was undertaken for Proxima Residences Trading Trust.

The design responds to two distinct street environments. Along Randolph Street, extensive glazing and projecting bedroom forms give the façade depth and a closer relationship with the street. The Newton Road frontage uses a bolder composition of concrete panels suited to its busy arterial setting, with a clearly defined base, middle and top.

Deep terraces extend the apartment living spaces outdoors, while projecting dividing walls provide privacy between neighbouring homes. The north-facing aspect offers sunlight and city and harbour outlooks, and the site’s slope accommodates basement parking. Naturally finished concrete, metallic cladding, timber soffits and glass form the building’s material palette. We provided architectural and urban design services, including preparation of the supporting urban design report.

Proxima Residences received a Commended award for Multi-Unit Housing at the 2025 ADNZ Resene Auckland and Northland regional awards.
