2024 Hawkes Bay/Gisborne Architecture Awards Winner
St Aubyn Village Estate
This project demonstrates how increased density can and should be accommodated within the existing suburban fabric. Twenty new modern houses are arranged to address both the street and internal lanes. Houses are light-filled and private, while allowing residents to engage with their neighbours as they desire. This objective is supported by the site design, landscaping and the provision of shared community facilities. The layout provides security and engagement without creating a gated community. This example of stitching a new community into an established neighbourhood should be further replicated.
