75-77 Remuera RoadThe proposed new building at 75-77 Remuera Rd bridges two combined sites combined onto one site entity. The combined site are non rectilinear in form, which is reflected in the buildings form and faacde. The proposed building is a seven-level structure consisting of 2 levels of parking, one subterranean, the ground floor provides main entry into the central building lobby, retail space in front providing an active edge, 4 office levels over. The proposed building is constrained by and is to be built out to the face of all four site boundaries. To mitigate the east / west constraints and maximise the north / south aspects, the design of the building envelope dictated solid precast concrete elements to side boundaries. A highly glazed northern façade of L1 to L4 that cantilevers and projects out over the inset GFL retail and building entrance façade. At the base of this cantilevered facade is the low height L1 carpark façade, which is wrapped in dark charcoal webforge to shield the parking activity on this floor whilst providing ventilation. Along the lowest GFL level, sloping forked ‘V’ columns support the cantilevered highly glazed medial northern building façades over. The building has been designed for medial tenant use and has been designed to accommodate and reticulate the significant services requirement for this end use. Resource Consent approved, construction is underway and the project is scheduled for completion early 2027. |
