Rental Housing for Waiheke Community Housing Trust

The building sought to address the increasing rental housing shortage

The Waiheke Community Housing Trust was formed to address the increasing rental housing crisis on Waiheke Island.

On a steep and difficult to access site the building with 3 flats was designed by Lapp & Toft Architecture Ltd in 2018-2019, in close collaboration with Paul Carew Trust Chair, Mark Inglis Trust secretary and Wendy Baverstock Trustee and planning consultant. 

Chris McCarthny of Gulf Architects Ltd. prepared the Building Consent documentation.

The building contains a 4 bedroom flat on the lower level, with a 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom flat on the upper level designed to Accessible Standards.

The construction period was protracted due to delays during the Covid Pandemic and the building was completed in 2022.
