We are proud to support Kāinga Ora in delivering affordable, healthy, and well-designed homes for communities across Aotearoa. The Orchard Street development in Avondale, Auckland is a standout example of how modular construction, supported by smart engineering, can meet community needs with both style and efficiency.

The four unit development features clean lines, a light colour palette, and a mix of vertical and horizontal elements that give it a sleek, cohesive look. Vertical louvre-style panels frame the balconies and provide residents with privacy and shade. The modern architecture is complimented by landscaped grounds and practical, well-designed access paths.

Increased efficiency with Modular Building

Our team provided structural and fire engineering services, working closely with project partners to integrate modular methodologies into the design and build. This innovative approach allowed the project to be delivered up to 40% faster than a traditional build, with improved quality control and reduced on-site disruption, helping reduce New Zealand’s housing shortage faster. Thoughtful fire engineering ensured the homes met safety standards without compromising design intent.

Together, our solutions helped create a safe, durable, and cost-effective housing solution—delivered quickly and built to last.

Orchard Street reflects our commitment to smart, community-focused design, supporting Kāinga Ora’s mission to deliver healthy, affordable homes for all New Zealanders.

Key outcomes from modular design and volumetric building:

• 40% faster delivery than traditional build
• 4 new homes in Avondale, Auckland for Kāinga Ora
• Safe, durable, cost-effective housing solution
