Site Justification

      On the edge of the world sits a place where culture, creativity, lifestyle and intellect thrive and shine as bright as the golden sand that lies on its beaches.
Standing on a measureless harbor that is ringed by a natural amphitheatre of hills is a city that sits on the north island of New Zealand.
     Wellington, the capital city, embodies and reflects the concepts of movement and unrestricted flow of our structure as a whole.
The city is an artistic scene. Its picturesque surroundings prompt for walks around the beautiful harbor and hills. 
    Looking at the relationships and connections between the landscape and the structure, we interpret how the building relates to its surroundings through architecture. The climate is a temperate marine one that is generally moderate all year round, but the winds make it seem much colder than what the actual temperature may be. The natural winds of the landscape speak to the free flow movement of horizontal lines of the structure.
  The nearby ocean represents ideas of translucency and reflection and is shown through materialization by the excessive use of glass.
The beaches represent a horizontal lifting within a semi-mountainous landscape.
    Areas of near by terrain allude to a sense of traveling upwards and establishing a language of vertical lightness much like the one we depict through the structure with the idea of lifting upward through the use of vertical beams that swell in and out on all facades.
        The color palette and material choice was particularly inspired by the natural terrain and surrounding buildings around it. Our design achieves a sense of unity and integration between the structure and the landscape.

  
 Although Wellington’s population is 180,000, we ensure that our complex provides restricted access and privacy along with the benefit of extended stay. The attitude of the area, café culture and vibrant nightlife adds to the quality of living in such a place.
