Ropa Lane has been skilfully designed by one of Wellington’s leading apartment architects, Solari.
Solari focus on creating architecture that improves lives and builds communities. As specialists in medium density architecture, our expertise ensures that we create places and environments where people want to live and thrive.
Our team at Solari Architects are privileged and excited to have the opportunity to design a project such as this on one of Wellington’s most fantastic locations.
The apartments are a bespoke solution to a truly spectacular site. The views over Evans Bay to the north are simply stunning and are supported by an easterly outlook over Miramar to Seatoun Heights. Underpinning the design is the unique shape of the property, a curving eastern edge meeting the north facing boundary with a sharp angle. This informed the prow-like shape welcoming your entry to Ropa Lane. The curving eastern edge contrasted with the gesture of a slice that opens the building up to the majestic northern views.
A unique design solution is the winter-garden balcony spaces. These provide a truly flexible solution to living in a stunning yet exposed environment. They blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor allowing the occupants choice and flexibility in how they experience their connection to outside depending on conditions. Spectacular views and sun are paramount, while also providing shelter from the wind.
Cam Garvie and James Solari have successfully delivered the fantastic Catalina Lane townhouses in Evans Bay as a joint venture development. Catalina Lane is a unique creation of four family-orientated townhouses sharing in a village green community environment. Cam and James teamed up to develop this unique Solari design, with Cam undertaking the construction.

Solari Architects specialise in multi-unit, residential and commercial throughout NZ.
We take your vision from pictures, words, half-formed or full-formed ideas and “ya knows” and translate them into architecture representative of your values, goals and personality. Our strengths lie in multi-unit, residential and commercial architecture projects where we work on the small and the large.
We’re all about less ego, more client. We know it’s cliché but the world is a village and our reputation is everything. Our work is the most vocal representation of our brand.
That’s everything from the way we communicate with our clients, consultants and local authorities, the documentation of our work, our interaction with contractors and of course the quality of the build.
We are all a bunch of architecture nerds at heart. The challenge of a project, be it a complex site or budget constraints, is exciting as it forces creativity and ef ciency. We crave opportunities to solve real housing problems through great living solutions more than chocolate, coffee and wine combined. We continue to educate ourselves at all times to be the trusted advisors that our clients need us to be.
It all starts with a chat
We get together and you tell us what you’re hoping to achieve.
The things we’re interested in are: the project site, your timeframes, your expected budget and your vision. We’re always happy to show you our previous work and talk to you about how we can work with you. You can bring cuttings, mood boards, words, scribbles, Pinterest boards, music - just anything that helps us get an idea of what you’ve got in mind. Also, tell us who you are. Knowing a little more about your lifestyle, family, hobbies, goals and an entertaining story helps us put together a together a complete picture of requirements and allows us to give you an accurate quote for our services.
From there you can decide if you want to partner with us to work on your project (fingers crossed).
