Living at Jervois & Lawrence will be like staying in a boutique luxury hotel as you soak up the vibe surrounded by boutique shops and Auckland’s trendiest delicatessens, cafes, restaurants and bars.
While the handy northern slopes location on the Herne Bay ridgeline is outstanding, everything about this striking new addition to the city fringe locale is the best of the best. Such quality will appeal to discerning downsizers who love the area but want to move on from their large Herne Bay villas and wouldn’t contemplate squeezing into shoeboxes.
The five-level complex will probably be the most exclusive apartment building in Auckland, says development manager Bryan Perrow of Synergy Development Group.
It was designed by Leuschke Group Architects who are skilled at maximising space to create great layouts for superbly comfortable living environments. Stewart Harris of Macintosh Harris Interiors has assembled a sumptuous palette of high-quality interior finishes complemented by prestigious Italian ArcLinea kitchens, bathroom vanities and fitted wardrobe systems from Matisse.
Living rooms are filled with natural light enriched with the warm character of herringbone oak floors, rich floor to ceiling timber cabinetry, aged bronze hardware details and textured porcelain benchtops. In the bigger apartments, the kitchen islands extend into timber table tops. Ovens and induction cooktop are top of the line Gaggenau. The spec just doesn’t get any better.
Behind the elegant, rustic travertine and glass facade, just 28 super-stylish, sleek urban homes, ranging from two to four bedrooms, are exceptionally generous. All have beautiful views either facing the sea or capturing inspiring urban outlooks. North-west-facing apartments have extensive balconies for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Garden apartments sit behind courtyards and others open to versatile glazed indoor-outdoor Winter Gardens that act like second living areas. Bedrooms in the central core of the building look down on an internal Japanese-themed Zen garden.
On the top floor, huge penthouses – the largest is 300sqm with a 60sqm balcony – boast wraparound outdoor living with sweeping harbour views. Although all apartments have zoned air conditioning and underfloor heating in the bathrooms, homes on this level have gas fires both inside and out.
The wide street lobby off Lawrence Street is impressive, lined in stone warmed by light flooding through skylights. But it’s the attention paid to the smallest details that make you aware that this is a very finely tuned complex; things like soft night lights under bathroom basins that turn on with a movement sensor, concealed curtain rails that maintain that sleek look and louvres positioned on the outside of the building which add privacy from your neighbours.
Each home comes with at least two carparks pre-wired for EV chargers in the basement. Completion of Jervois & Lawrence is expected late April for a move in date of June. A handful of apartments is still available for sale.
