New Zealand sky homes with hotel lifestyle

Challenge

The brief was to create an iconic residential addition to the Auckland city skyline over the top 11 floors of a 43-storey tower. Not only did the design need to be earthquake proof, it also needed to bring the heritage of the original building back to life through a slender tower, moving in increasing levels of solidity up the building. Sitting atop Hotel Indigo Auckland, the design of the 24 luxury apartments needed to carefully respond to the vibrant and contemporary hotel concept, as well as the existing heritage building at ground level, while creating a serene haven away from it all. These luxurious apartments in the sky needed to benefit from the services and amenities offered by the below hotel, also designed by Scott Carver, allowing for a true first class branded lifestyle experience. 

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.

Design Inspiration

Design Inspiration

Following on from the Neighbourhood Story of Hotel Indigo, the luxury residential apartments were inspired by the heritage of the site – being the first importer of luxury cars in Auckland. The design reflects modern luxury car detailing, through the use of sleek materials including stone, timber and leather.

Bringing Auckland’s neighbourhood story to life at Hotel Indigo

With interior design by Scott Carver, Auckland will welcome IHG’s first Hotel Indigo in New Zealand in 2021, with Ninety Four Feet as the property developer. Housed within a mixed-use development, our challenge was to interpret IHG’s neighbourhood story for this 225-key hotel in Auckland.
