Secluded down a long right-of-way, a trio of townhouses welcomes you onto a 926sqm site that demanded technical precision across subdivision, environmental restoration and structural delivery. Reconfigured into three freehold titles plus a jointly owned access lot, the constrained urban setting required exacting surveying, coordinated services infrastructure and tightly sequenced construction. Engagement with mana whenua informed the ecological response to the daylighting of an existing stormwater pipe, the reinstated open stream and piling adjacent to the watercourse. Semi-recessed platforms are stabilised by steel, timber and segmental concrete retaining systems, with suspended concrete slabs resolving ground variability. Complex 16- and 45-degree roof forms required continuous steel bracing and meticulous junctions.

The builder, who owns this property, has brought his exceptional skills to both the broader context and finer detail. Internally, open-plan living areas and precisely executed stone bathrooms reflect the same construction discipline. This home enjoys double garaging and a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor where guests or tenants can retreat. Open-plan living, kitchens with generous sculleries, and powder rooms make up level one. The three-bedroom, twobathroom sleeping quarters are upstairs. Sliding doors to decks lend easy access to the outdoors and the established, leafy surrounds.
