The Groves
By Gel Architects
Named after the valleys and orchards that prospered in West Auckland during the early 1900’s, The Groves development offers a fresh and vibrant hub with contemporary, well designed and affordable homes.
The Groves are a collection of simple buildings, designed well. The forms and materials used hark back to the original horticultural land uses. Inspired by glasshouses and farm buildings, you can see these reflected in the roof forms and robust materials used. The precast concrete exterior walls and floors provide a high level of construction quality, while also allowing a comfortable and tempered living environment.
