Edmonton Heights (Stage 1) – FORREST ARCHITECTS

Edmonton Heights (Stage 1)

Edmonton Heights is an immaculate 4ha site located in Te Atatu South. Originally masterplanned by Harrison Grierson, Forrest Architects lead the subdivision project after years of being placed on-hold.

Partially bordering the site is the Te Atatu South park and the Tui Glen reserve. The proximity to public parks exhibits an importance of connectivity and coordination between privacy and community.

The development will consist of various typologies ranging from standalone houses, 3-storey terrace houses to 5-storey multi-unit apartment blocks. The large range of typologies allow for occupants of different ages to cohabit.

The building frontages have been moderated to form rhythm and setbacks from the street. Devices such as vertical louvres and recessed openings have been adopted to shape the architectural language of the frontages.

Contemporary and chic, the materials offer bring a vibrant character to the surrounding context. Extensive building footprints are broken down with the roofscape and contrasting colours of the facade.
