Construkt Architects designed Te Uru Apartments for Fletcher Living at Hobsonville Point, Auckland. Our involvement in Te Uru also extended to the wider masterplanning of the precinct, allowing the apartment design to respond directly to the neighbourhood structure, streets and housing mix.

The development provides 58 homes across eight blocks, combining three-storey apartments and walk-up housing with one-, two- and three-bedroom options. The mix was designed to provide a range of housing choices, including affordable, median-priced and open-market homes. Construkt Architects

Monopitch roof forms and contrasting colours break down the scale of the buildings and create variation across the development. Projecting and recessed forms help articulate individual homes within each block, while maintaining a consistent residential character along the street.

The buildings step with the site’s rolling topography, reducing the extent of earthworks and creating variation along the streetscape. This approach also helps the development sit comfortably within the wider Hobsonville Point setting.
