Imperial Gardens
- Location: CBD, Auckland
- Units: 275
- Status: Completed 2024
In the heart of Auckland’s CBD, 275 apartments make up this 13 storey building.
The building was suffering from serious water ingress issues. One of the main contributors was external decks, which were entirely unprotected from the elements and badly water damaged.
The improved design encloses the decks with a curtain wall, bringing sleek, uncluttered lines to the façade, with tinted glazing that protects the interiors from sun glare.
The opportunity was taken to significantly enhance the shared podium space during refurbishment, adding decking areas, surrounded by landscaped grass. The new design will creates a shared space for the residents to enjoy, adding value and a sense of community to the apartments.
Exterior colours were inspired by the work of artist Piet Mondrian, with a streamlined palette selected to provide a cohesive look across the complex. As with all projects of this size and scale, the team worked closely with the Body Corporate of Imperial Gardens, to ensure all owners and their needs are accurately and successfully met.
