SUMMER GARDENS

Welcome to the future of green suburban living - Campbell Road, Takapuna

Brought to you by Xin Yue Development, OCTA Project Management and Construkt Architects, Summer Gardens is to be comprised of 30 apartments, each elegantly designed with high-end fixtures and fittings. Summer Gardens at 3 Campbell Road, Takapuna, is being developed with style and sustainability at its core. Surrounded by native planting, fruit trees and edible gardens, its focus on environmental harmony will be evident from the moment you enter the extensive grounds, and the architectural aesthetic confirms Summer Gardens as an in-demand address.

This residential complex will offer the discerning buyer a unique opportunity at the forefront of contemporary green living in Takapuna, the beating heart of Auckland’s North Shore. Takapuna has idyllic coastal charm, boutique shopping and renowned dining.

Summer Gardens will be central to everything Takapuna has to offer. The flourishing local community is renowned for its shopping and dining experiences and is a thriving arts hub and haven for outdoor pursuits. Residents of Summer Gardens will be just a short stroll from al fresco dining, a jog along the beach, a walk around Lake Pupuke or a show at the Bruce Mason Centre.

The building will be well connected with the main apartment entry from Campbell Road and convenient secondary entry from Beatson Way to the north providing easy access to local amenities. Both access ways are to be lit-up at night and integrated with the landscape design to create visual interest and increase legibility of the site and its immediate surrounds.

From the moment you enter Summer Gardens, a sense of community and wellbeing will be evident in the extensive landscaping, edible gardens and 10-metre pool.  Enjoy private use of the front yards of the garden apartments at street level. Spacious balconies are incorporated into all units on the levels above to cater for outdoor living and engagement with the surroundings.

The eye catching building design draws from the pitched rooflines of the surrounding houses, providing a clean and contemporary aesthetic which knits the building comfortably into its context. This architectural language continues on to the west elevation and ensures a visually unique building, both at street level and afar. Both eastern and western facades utilise a clever combination of continuous operable metal screens, colour and texture. The screens, apart from creating visual interest, perform multiple practical roles: solar screening, privacy control, providing dimension and enhancing the neighbourhood’s visual amenity.

To be completed with immaculately manicured gardens filled with native planting and fruit trees, composting and vegetable-growing spaces, the external areas of Summer Gardens will complement the interior’s sustainability focus. Inside, each apartment features operable sun screens, water-efficient showers and tapware, LED lighting and low-emission, environmentally-friendly materials throughout. Roof-mounted solar panels will supply the majority of the building’s hot water heating system (which has a gas boost). Here, you can rest assured in the knowledge that your choices are harmonious with the environment.
