St Andrews Residential Development, Blenheim
From a handful of vineyards in the 70’s to the globally recognised market of today, the wine industry in Marlborough has transformed the physical, social, cultural and economic landscape of the region. Infrastructural challenges coupled with this growth has been well documented, however a far greater ethical responsibility lies ahead; ensuring that an equitable standard of living is available to the seasonal employment force that make this industry possible. The St Andrews RSE Resident Managed Accommodation sets the new standard for liveability and well-being of seasonal workers in Marlborough.
Social Spine, St Andrews Residential Development
AitkenTaylor’s primary task is the provision of high quality, active spaces that improve the well-being and quality of life for its users. For the St Andrews project this means designing a landscape around the public life and public activities expected from its residents. Fundamental to the proposal is the establishment of two key social ‘spines’ - a ‘park’ and a ‘street’ - each with the primary objective to invite and support sociability and well-being.
Omaka Landing Residential Development
For a development to reach its full potential – from bricks and mortar to a place that is valued by its community - a clear strategy and vision is needed
The strategy for Omaka Landing is driven by the desire to establish a strong place-based identity- connecting to the wider natural, social and environmental context of the wider community - a development that is intrinsically linked to its natural environment - physically and psychologically.
