The Laneway Apartments provide a refreshing perspective on the rebirth of residential inner city living within the heart of Christchurch’s CBD. This apartment building is sleeved with commercial tenancy and hospitality space on Ground floor, with five floors of residential above, consisting of 44 apartments. Targeted at the first home buyer, Hierarchy Group’s approach has been to develop a building that would encourage a strong sense of Whakapapa (Identity and Connection to place). Activated laneways lead residents, guests and public past retail and hospitality offerings. Various landscape offerings and artwork are integrated throughout the facades and foyers to tie in to the cultural narratives of the Te Are Pu Ha: The South Frame.
