The recently completed Abel Smith Street Apartments provides much needed high-density housing to the south of Wellington’s CBD. The apartments are catered toward young professionals with a combination of configurations from three to four-bedroom layouts. The design and aesthetic of the building was to reflect the urban fabric below, with a palette of aluminium panels, charcoal weatherboard cladding, white precast concrete and super blue glazing punctuated with vibrant primary coloured aluminium fins to the glazing mullions. Internally the apartments feature a neutral palette of crisp white walls, charcoal carpet, exposed raw precast walls and warm timber laminate flooring.

DLA Architects. We are dla, creators of top notch architecture We're small enough to take care of everything from your modest residential renovation and big enough to design, document and deliver multi-million-dollar industrial and commercial facilities, with the in-house expertise to cater for all projects in between. Dickson Lonergan Architects (DLA) was founded in Whanganui in 1974 with founding partners Bruce Dickson (retired) and the late Barry Lonergan. Once fully established in the Whanganui region, DLA then started to expand the business, first into Wellington in 1999 with Barry and Glenn starting up the capital city office. Then came the Timaru Office headed up by Murray Ackroyd in 2005 and the further expansion to Hamilton in 2010 with Martin Swann. The opportunity then arose to open an Auckland office in 2015 with Alana moving north from Wellington. Now with 5 offices, DLA has evolved from its humble beginnings into a nationwide practice, with a passionate team of architects and designers who specialise in all fields from commercial, residential, industrial, interiors, education and public projects through to DLA’s main stay of large scale dairy and food processing architecture.
