This stylish Howick development was designed to meet the market at the lower end of the scale to enable purchases to get into the Howick Market, while purchasing a well thought out house plan. The plan has been designed to offer 3 Bedroom2 bathrooms, with single living and dining area and a smaller space for office or kids lounge of the main living area.

The Design is cost effective for purchase at 120 m2 and has enabled purchaser to buy a good, valued home in a great area. The Houses will get great outlooks from the bedrooms, as the property is on the ridge line of Bradbury Road, the end house will get 270-degree views of Auckland from Rangitoto to Waitakere’s.

Development Challenges and Features.

The property was 900m2 with a triangle piece missing at the front of the property, which made set back’s challenging. The Property did not have stormwater and neighbors’ approval was required. We also broked a deal with the Neighbor to create a driveway up the Centre of the property to enable both properties use over this driveway. The Driveway enables additional building footprint and larger outdoor spaces as gives the properties

This stylish development situated in on the cusp of Howick and Buckland’s beach area, designed to be built on a sloping site, and capture the western views, was created to enable First home buyers and investors and opportunity to get a well thought out design in Howick.

Development Challenges & Features.

Designing a development on the slope always will have challenges, the site is also quite Narrow for a standard development, this meant we had to make use of both the front and rear of each house to meet planning requirements of outdoor space and outlook areas. The site did not have access to storm water, and neighbors’ approval was required before purchasing the property during the DD process. The slope always makes it challenging, though we have made good use of retaining walls and created nice private gardens spaces with good planting and landscape designs. The bedrooms all have nice urban outlooks and make use of the slope, so you don’t feel boxed in. The Rear property was designed with living upstairs to make use of the Auckland city views.

This is a project has been designed and built for a long-term investment The section size is 450m2 and the design has maximized the amount of useable space on the site. To maximize the rental yield this is 117m2 3-bedroom 2 bathrooms this home boost good use of space incorporating a small family/kid’s room off the lounge and separate 3rd toilet with 3 bedrooms upstairs and a study. The house cladding is all in brick to ensure low maintenance of a 2-story home.

The project was designed solely as an investment and the new tax rules in place in NZ.

Development Challenges & Features:

To enable the development to work this required access over the neighbor’s property to make use of the ROW. There were several challenges with infrastructure to the existing property and upgrade of both wastewater and stormwater systems. The Development design worked well as we were able to create a secondary car park on the development to take cars off the road, which will set these rental properties apart from the other new builds in the area.

This countryside living subdivision, the properties were subdivided into 800m2 sections, with rural outlooks. The land was purchased with option to complete 1 additional section, and to unlock 5 sections required neighbors’ approval for the ROW as well as wastewater pumps for the sewer.

The house designs were carefully selected interms of size and style. The Neighboring subdivision majority consisted of large 220m2 homes, so these were designed as 160m2 so not to compete with the neighboring subdivision however the values of the properties are increased by the neighboring subdivision due to the cost of getting into this area.

This enabled an extremely profitable project. The house designs ensure that all living areas were facing, north and west and were all designed away from each other’s living area creating a great rural private setting.
