About Apartments projects

An apartment building design guide should start with the site, consent requirements and intended residents. Orientation, daylight, privacy and shared amenity shape the brief before plans are resolved. Latitude Luxury Apartments - Tauranga, New Zealand by Abodo is one example of the apartment work listed here.

What should an apartment floor plan show?

Check room dimensions, storage, circulation and window positions against the needs of the intended occupants. Confirm these details on the drawings.

What should be checked before consent?

Review the site constraints, access, parking and shared amenity against the project brief. Confirm applicable consent requirements with the local council.
