The Viaduct Harbour in Auckland, reinvented from its days of industrial usage, is now a vibrant waterfront precinct accessible to all, with promenades, cafes, restaurants, retail, boats, maritime museum, hotels, and apartments.

The Point Apartments occupies a key site fronting onto Waitemata Square and the Lighter Basin. The design provides 85 apartments of various sizes and types over five levels ranging from one bedroom to three bedroom plus study apartments. The development is designed to respect and develop the Auckland City Council's planning and environment guidelines.

The layout of the apartment building groups clusters of apartments around three centralized atria to provide light filled access to each apartment and maintain a degree of privacy for the apartment dwellers.

Every apartment has a generous 3 metre deep deck across the full width of the apartment to provide generous outdoor living spaces for dining, living and BBQ, to take advantage of Auckland's temperate climate. The planning and the design of the apartments has been carefully tailored to the needs of a variety of apartment dwellers with generous living and bedroom spaces together with amenities.

The building uses contemporary language and a restrained palette of materials comprising of exposed aggregate concrete, stainless steel, steel and cedar timber, notably in the use of adjustable and movable timber shutters to assist with the control of the environment.

The building create an urban backdrop to the cityscape for everyday living activity to take place in a refined and luxurious environment.
