Leinster Living
19 new apartments and townhouses ideally located in Christchurch’s premier suburb of Merivale, Leinster living is just a short walk away from an abundance of boutique eateries, Cafés and Fashion stores at Merivale shopping mall.
Design
The brief for Leinster Living presented an opportunity to find a fresh approach to what tends to be a challenging building typology, the New Zealand apartment and townhouse development. Finding economical ways of creating a distinctive and functional space for living in the urban fabric has been the driver behind this project.
A focus on the integration of walkways and laneways creates a secure gated village made for walking, cycling and sharing, with greater opportunities for neighbours to bump into each other. Outdoor garden spaces are extended beyond private fence lines to increase the opportunity for neighbourhood connections and interactions. Being a private back section the considered north facing facade blends seamlessly with the surrounding residential environment.
