Insight

The team was heavily influenced by the motor car heritage of the existing building on-site and used the inspiration of luxury car detailing throughout the residential spaces, creating a restrained and luxurious offer. The colour palette for these apartments is calm and light, allowing individual owners to bring their own personality into their spaces. Luxurious neutral elements of chevron timber flooring, porcelain tiles, marble and brushed nickel tapware are used to create an elegant palette.

Solution

The team of architects and interior designers created a truly luxurious interior design offer and thoughtfully developed the architecture for 51 Albert. The residential apartments appear to float at the top of the tower in a simple glass box, making the most of the surrounding views of Auckland. All interior layouts have been designed in such a way that every room has a stunning view and the maximum amount of daylight possible, with floor to ceiling glazing. Open living areas and luxurious kitchens form the foundation for every apartment, while creating flexible spaces for living, entertaining and relaxing. The kitchens have been elegantly designed with high quality materials and a high level of attention to detail and functionality. The design solution provides two entrance options, either through the grand hotel lobby or through the discreet resident’s only private entrance, which is adjacent to the dynamic food and beverage offer. This allows for residents to feel part of the hotel community, as well as feed off the quality amenities.
