I presume that this is the Hotel component (7 floors):

I think that we are going to see more and more of the same - architects are becoming adventurous and moving away from the traditional facades - thank the heavens :cheers:

Nice building, shame about the bland concrete. What is it with Kiwi's and this love affair for bland concrete?

 

[viinniie]

^^ to me its rather pretty concrete lol.. esp with the other design aspects incorporated .. Not saying im a fan of every concrete structure though..

concrete + glass + colours = ayyokay!

I think the concrete is long-lasting. Timeless. So, enjoy it. Concrete and dark green/ blue glass. With the occasional fins. Thats Auckland architecture. Grey concrete and dark green/ blue glass.

New render - notice the new tall building in the background (left) ... and a new building on the right hand side.

Confirmed by Colliers, the new building is a 9 level office tower with retail at ground level.

Nice place, just not very urban. I feel Highbrook could have been utilised better as a residential development with the beautiful waterfront.
