Taharoto Apartments

Taha = (noun) side, margin, edge, bank (of a river), beside

Roto = (noun) lake OR (noun) wetlands, swamp

The design concept for this multi-unit residential development takes cues from the meaning of its place name. Elements symbolising grass reeds, water and floating waka form the basis of the design concept.

The main entry is via a 5 storey glass mezzanine. Each level of the main stairs looks out through a cascading glass curtain wall to the street.

The apartments are a mix of one, two and three bedroom units. The ground floor has shared meeting / lounge for business and entertaining.

Each apartment has balconies with sliding screens. The screens will create flora patterns up the side of the building, and will let through sculptural light and shadow.

Modo Architects. MODO Architects operates with the simple overriding desire to produce buildings of poetic beauty and place. We have a responsibility to create buildings that respond to and engage with people and landscape, both visually and sustainably. MODO Architects are skilled in a wide range of architectural design from residential, multi-unit residential, commercial, education, community, interior and landscape. For us the first and most important stage of the architectural process is to understand and empathize with you, the client. Having an architect that can step into your shoes and see the project from your perspective is essential. We are based in Auckland but spend several days per month in and around Nelson on projects. We are used to working remotely so can take on projects anywhere.
