Multi-Unit Residential

There is a certain composure to the work of Stevens Lawson Architects — an ongoing dialogue of ideas that seems to flow between projects. Here, on a ridgeline at the meeting point of Auckland suburbs Glen Innes and Glendowie, that conversation finds expression in an unexpected setting.

The signature penthouse at One Saint Stephens boasts a winter garden, a fully separate guest wing and unparalleled views from the master and living spaces.

Each of these compact dwellings is designed to fit into the same space as the quintessential Kiwi double garage. They’re affordable, replicable models for a new housing typology.

High above Aotea Square and what is likely to become Auckland’s busiest transport link, Te Waihorotiu Station, a new vertical village is under way: a place to live, work, play.

The overall winner and Home of the Year 2024 is Boathouse Bay by Crosson Architects, an exemplary model of multi-unit design embodying the quest for community living through a marriage of architecture, landscape, and master-planning.

A cornerstone of Auckland City’s Avondale rejuvenation, the 2024 Multi-Unit Home of the Year stands as a gateway project that is instantly recognisable and a symbol of rejuvenation, not gentrification, within a city belt setting.

Encompassing an original — and much-loved — stone building, two apartments deliver a delightful dialogue between old and new, making the most of a lakefront site in central Queenstown.

On the edge of Christchurch city, a new urban neighbourhood has been designed in response to the eclectic history of the site.

Although modest in size and budget, this Auckland multi-generational home puts the client at its heart while at the same time future-proofing the asset for any potential uses that might eventuate.
