100 Morrin Road is a new masterplan development for the former quarry site in collaboration with Fletcher Living, Marutuahu and Boffa Miskell, providing a new community/neighbourhood near the base of Maunagrei /Mount Wellington.
The design concept creates a strong boundary condition to the development and street frontage to the existing surrounding streets & new public open space. This was achieved through a consistent formal and material response to the perimeter. Identifying key corner buildings which provide and act as ‘gateways’ into the site, whilst a central axis & pedestrian link through the site linking Stonefields Ave and a newly planned Te Tauoma Open Space.
The proposed development has rich variation of architectural form and materiality across the development. Mana Whenua engagement & concepts based around the Maunga, Awa & Wairua have been integrated into both the Architectural and Landscape design response. The overall masterplan and landscape strategy maintains and enhancers key views & aconnection to the maunga - providing quality public & shared communityspaces through pocket parks and JOAL design.
Resource Consent has been obtained, earthworks are now completed on site with building consents underway, construction is imminent.
