Ahuareka seeks to provide a quality place to live, work and

play. It is seen as a community with a wide demographic

specifically designed so that singles, couples, families and

the aged cohabitate. It provides a variety o f housing types

including family homes, courtyard houses, small single level

cottages, artists houses with studios and loft living spaces.

The Architecture is developed as a reflection of traditional

New Zealand rural influences and the buildings have a

limited palette of forms and materials establishing an

architectural unity providing a unique sense of place.

Quality construction techniques and building materials

including stone, concrete and weatherboard walls with zinc

and iron roofs result in distinctive and superior buildings.

This is summarised in the attached 9 page illustration

booklet entitled Architectural Unity = Character = Identity.

The houses are eco-friendly and designed with good

connections to sun and aspect, they h ave high levels of

insulation and thermal mass, good levels of natural lighting

and cross ventilation.

This development is designed not as a response to

infrastructure and cars but as a reflection of those eternal

principles of satisfying and sustaining places that enhance

human experience.
