Selected Project
Rooftop Terraces
Rooftop Terraces is an inner city residential development comprising three terrace houses. The site was previously home to a small garden centre and car yard before being re-envisaged as a multi-unit residential development in the heart of Nelson. At less than 10m wide and 40m long, this narrow site stretches between a main road Collingwood Street, and a back alley, Malthouse Lane, with the Maitai River and riverside walkway nearby. The dwellings sit between existing buildings to the north and south, with views out to Nelson’s hills east and west. An industrial material and colour palette has been used – exposed concrete block, precast tilt panel (also exposed in selected areas to the interior), aluminium and plaster cladding in grey hues with a monochrome interior palette. White perforated screens filter the light and provide privacy for inhabitants and visual interest from the street.
