Living with nature

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a residential development within an existing forested environment; something that’s uncommon in the Wellington region.

We’re proposing housing that fits sensitively along the forest ridgetops, set within mature pine and regenerating native forest. This would be a distinctive and attractive option for buyers within the current housing market.

Take a look at some of the housing types we've developed below, and in the gallery.

Live within
the forest

Our concept will attract people looking for alternatives to conventional suburban living. Clustered housing will encourage social interaction between neighbours, and this will be enhanced by the network of walkways and cycleways that will connect and foster a sense of community.

Our vision

We’re proposing housing that fits sensitively along the forest ridgetops, set within mature pine and regenerating native forest.

Water sensitive urban design

We will be using ‘water sensitive urban design’ principles when we plan for residential development. We are fully committed to ensuring that the development is sensitive to its surroundings and the existing communities in Pinehaven and Silverstream.

House types

We've developed a range of concept designs for different types of houses that could fit sensitively within the forested landscape. These include both standalone and medium-density housing types.
