Occupying a narrow section of prime Grey Lynn real estate in the inner suburbs of Auckland, our design for 31 Mackelvie Street masterfully utilises the space to provide 21 spacious residences across a 10-level mixed-use development. An attractive investment, this development offers a blend of retail, hospitality, and residential spaces.
“At ground level, the design features elegant brickwork, creating a warm and inviting entrance for residents and visitors alike,” says Plus Architecture Director Hamish Davies. “The upper levels showcase dark balconies that juxtapose against the brickwork, enhancing both the aesthetic appeal and the functionality of the building. These features not only provide residents with private outdoor spaces but also contribute to the contemporary architectural style of the development.”
The project seamlessly integrates retail and hospitality spaces on the lower floors, promoting a vibrant and dynamic street-level experience. This thoughtful mix of uses ensures a lively atmosphere, making it an appealing destination for residents and visitors.
Despite the narrow plot, the development optimises space efficiency without compromising on the quality of living. Each of the 21 residences is designed with spacious layouts, ensuring comfort and modern living standards for all residents.
31 Mackelvie Street serves as an excellent example of a high-quality mixed-use development within dense urban settings.
