Ten Twenty One

TEN TWENTY ONE is a beautiful boutique development designed by a team dedicated to their craft - Ponting Fitzgerald Architects - to deliver eight benchmark houses offering a cutting edge, architectural sanctuary. Designed to offer the ultimate in low-maintenance designer living in an exclusive pocket of Ponsonby in a highly valued greenspace.

Due to the rare urban contrast of a community garden within the park on the boundary, the northern aspect demands connection to the open reserve amenity. In contrast, the southern boundary addresses street exposure with a robust artistry, embracing the architectural opportunity that more solid forms can offer.

These textural brick facades respond to the residential character of Hukanui Crescent, providing a sculpted presence that softens the scale of each angled panel. Bagged plaster boundary walls merge into the building fabric of three units to further break up the purposeful uniformity along the road frontage. This disrupted rhythm energises and differentiates each home. A unique composition of familiar elements referencing the crafted detail of nearby mid-century homes scattered throughout Herne Bay and Ponsonby.

Each house has been modelled to achieve a generous north-west outlook from upper living areas. The planning of each house offers 3 generous bedrooms and a ground level utility space (4th bedroom, 2nd living or home office), providing a flexible range of home-occupancy solutions in this ever-changing world.
