Selected Project
Sharella
Sharella Nouveau is a development comprising of seven townhouses and 12 apartments. A challenging site zoned Inner Residental but housed amongst large varying format buildings. This project was a rare opportunity to provide new residential living adjacent to the main gates to Wellington’s Botanic Gardens within easy walking distance of the CBD. It is a site-specific considered, modern response to renowned character context of Thorndon. This project tested the local town planning rules. Car parking and liaising with council on an appropriate ratio of parks to dwellings was a challenge. We worked very closely with the client and collaborated with urban design, planning, and traffic consultants to achieve our final result. The resulting product consists of townhouses that boldly engage with the street edge in a highly considered manner - a careful balance between privacy and an interactive edge treatment. A central courtyard space separates the townhouses from the three-storey apartments at the rear.
