Construkt Architects prepared the Taupiri East Precinct structure plan and an urban design report for St Isadore Company Ltd. Covering a 44-hectare greenfield site on the eastern edge of Taupiri, Waikato, the plan provides for housing, industrial land and a potential neighbourhood centre.

The masterplanning approach prioritises connected streets, walking and cycling routes, and housing blocks oriented for sunlight. Existing streams and wetlands are incorporated into an open space network with a neighbourhood park.

Managing the relationship between homes and industrial activities was a key design consideration. Landscape buffers, roads and green corridors provide separation, while the street layout aims to limit freight traffic through residential areas.

Along Gordonton Road, residential lots are planned with vehicle access from internal streets and pedestrian access to the road frontage. Landscaping provides a buffer between future homes and the road.

The structure plan supported the site’s rezoning in 2024 and provides a framework for staged development.
