HIGH RISE ON QUEEN STREET
Vulcan High delves into the functional challenges within a dense urban environment. Its design elegantly embraces the 5-meter slope along Queen Street, Vulcan Lane, and High Street, seamlessly integrating retail spaces, offices, and apartments in a harmonious blend. This mixed-use building not only addresses the topographical complexity but also gracefully blends with the existing urban landscape, creating an aesthetically pleasing addition to its surroundings.
PRESERVING HERITAGE
The ever-changing Auckland skyline demands careful planning, especially when developing around historical buildings. These structures hold great significance in Auckland's streetscape. Preserving the heritage building on High Street was of utmost importance, and to achieve this, the modern design was set back back from the visual range of pedestrians, minimizing its overpowering impact.
MIXED USED HIGH RISE
A mixed-use high-rise building in Auckland represents a dynamic and innovative approach to urban development. Combining commercial, residential, and retail spaces within a single towering structure. These multifunctional buildings not only maximize land usage but also foster a vibrant and diverse community within a compact space. The convenience of having work, leisure, and living areas in close proximity contributes to reducing commute times and promoting a sustainable urban lifestyle. Auckland's mixed-use high rises not only add to the ever-evolving skyline but also serve as a testament to the city's commitment to smart urban planning and thoughtful integration of modernity with historical preservation. With cutting-edge architectural design and a holistic approach to urban living, these high rises are shaping Auckland's skyline and redefining the way people experience the city.
VALUE OF ARCHITECTURAL VISUALISATION
3D architectural visualisation and modeling enhance design communication by showcasing realistic representations of proposed structures. They emphasis the context by integrating the surrounding environment, demonstrating how the design fits harmoniously. This helps assess the building's scale, materials, and lighting. Additionally, 3D renderings enable architects to reach a wider audience, engaging clients and investors globally. Ultimately, these tools strengthen architectural designs and foster better understanding and appreciation of proposed projects.
