Our developer clients asked us to challenge the medium-density landscape and deliver a project that defied typical expectations for fringe city living. Our brief was to create a development that was economically feasible, yet delivered a high quality design and living standard.

We approached the design of this development as ‘terraces’; staggered forms that subtly announce a sense of address to each home, but maintain high levels of privacy, solar gain and sound insulation.

Through clever design and the use of quality building materials, we were able to create low maintenance homes with a timeless aesthetic that blend seamlessly with their mixed density and historic gable-fronted building surroundings.

About the
Professional

Urbanfunction is a design collaborative based in the central city of Christchurch, New Zealand that draws on a range of skill and experience to deliver a diverse range of residential and commercial architectural projects both at home in beautiful Aotearoa and internationally.

Design director Aaron Jones formed both zerobag and urbanfunction on his return from years of working abroad in Melbourne and London.

With 20 years experience in the industry, Aaron draws on a range of global experience. From technical detailing and construction in stadium building to design, detailing and marketing of high end residential and commercial projects for both client and developer. 

The importance of Architecture and design within society, we believe is everything. As space, light and visual context affect mood and function within ourselves and those around us, it is critical we live within well considered environments. Considered not only for the purpose of which a building or product is to function but also to it's own environment and surroundings. This forms part of the core philosophy as to how we approach design.
