The Lighthouse: A boutique apartment development harmonizing with heritage architecture, featuring a dual-element design that maximizes space while ensuring privacy and compliance with district regulations.
The Lighthouse apartment building is a boutique development on a very prominent site. The building has been split into two main elements.
The Karangahape Road frontage refers to and aligns with the heritage buildings adjacent and a taller rear block designed to be seen from a greater distance with simpler façade detailing. The screen provides privacy for the apartments closest to the street while also resolving heritage issues of the Karangahape Road Precinct.
Furthermore, the forms have been designed to disguise the Karangahape Rd setback control, maximising floor area while also satisfying the requirements of the District Plan. A split-level ground floor allows for car parking at the rear and high stud retail to the prominent corner.
