Mixed-use development

This project’s focus was to sympathetically marry the old with the new providing a fresh architectural presence which both respects and represents its heritage surroundings. Located on a corner in a historical Birkenhead street, this site demanded a considered design which related to the original Georgian building yet maintained relevance for its progression into the future. Concrete, texture and strong lines of proportion form the basis of the design response which draws reference from historical neighbouring properties. Timber detailing is incorporated to soften and provides an architectural language which connects the site to the surrounding residential environment. Key to the success of this project was the facilitation of an open and collaborative approach, both within the studio itself and amongst the wider local community. Our biggest challenge - and greatest satisfaction - was creating a series of spaces which provided flexibility and opportunity to potential local businesses. — COMPLETED 2019 / 600m2 / BIRKENHEAD POINT, AUCKLAND, NZ

“I’ve worked with William and the Taylored team on a wide variety of projects: industrial new builds, commercial renovations and extensions, beach house concepts, along with more recently, an extensive residential rebuild. Whilst the end result of Taylored’s commitment to great design and hard work is always something to be proud of, it is the process, the journey, that we find most enjoyable. Considering the context, creating the brief, sharing the knowledge and feeling a part of the actual outcome. That is where the fun is and where real value is added. The depth of knowledge the team demonstrates, outside of the typical design parameters, is what we find so valuable. Planning considerations, council, funding options, potential returns, sales targets, buildability, products and how long things might take, are all part of the package when you work with the Taylored crew. Taylored are certainly my go-to for all of our design and related requirements and personally, I recommend William and his team very highly.”
