2022 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Sunset West Apartments
Sunset West provides boutique apartment accommodation through a focus on small, efficiently planned units with generous amenity. Attention to affordability enabled half of the development to be sold through the Kiwibuild scheme. The interior of each unit is furnished with plentiful storage, lining the whole length of the inter-tenancy wall. Additional joinery is used to separate the bedroom from the living room, with a simple sliding screen that allows the spaces to be either integrated or separated. The faceted façade angles windows and balconies towards the north, providing privacy from adjacent units and directing views across the city. From the street, the combination of the angled balconies with the vertical slatted screens gives the effect of tukutuku panel weaving.
