Size: 2000 m2 site with 19 units
Completion Date: 2022
Tharoto Lane is a 19 Unit mixed-use terrace development that will look to transform two sections (currently with one single dwelling on each) into an architectural complex that will serve as an anchor to weave and connect the greater urban fabric of Takapuna.
A custom cnc cut screen will be fabricated to form the main street frontage of the development complex. Carefully articulated, the variations were designed to resemble the rippling of a body of calm water; an architectural echo of ‘Taharoto’, which in Te Reo translates to ‘beside the lake’.
