The Stamford Residences

NZIA Practice: Peddle Thorp Architects

Category: Residential Architecture – Multiple Housing

This is a complex project, which has involved the construction of ten floors of high quality residential apartments above the existing Stamford Plaza Hotel on Albert Street. The design approach has resulted in a sophisticated, high quality, contemporary architectural addition to Albert Street that builds on the strengths of the existing hotel building and enhances them.

Hall Houses

NZIA Practice: Gerrad Hall Architects

Category: Residential Architecture – Multiple Housing

Two live-work units turn the disadvantages of a long narrow site into advantages, particularly in regard to outlook. The varied views are put to good effect to give a different internal character to the two units. The dialogue between exposed concrete structural panels and natural materials enliven the exterior form and interior spaces. The project offers proof the maligned cross lease solution does work in the hands of a good architect.
