The District Apartments banner

Comprising of 44 apartments and a ground floor commercial space fronting onto popular Jackson Street.

The District is a mixed-use development in Petone, Lower Hutt comprising of 44 apartments and a ground floor commercial space fronting onto popular Jackson Street.

Located on a significant corner on the cusp of a heritage zone, through this project we were able to maximise the potential of the site, thus enabling a feasible development whilst also being sympathetic to the neighbouring Petone Historic Area.
The development of this project included coordination with the Hutt City Council to achieve an efficient progression through the Resource Consent process.

The projects close proximity to Petone Railway Station allowed us to be somewhat creative with our parking solutions to complement the flexible apartment configurations.

About the
Professional

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-unitresidential 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).
