Sol Apartments

Sol Apartments, is a nine storey tower of 26 apartments, two single level pavilion units, and four duplex townhouses behind a retained historic facade in the Te Aro precinct of Wellington.

The tower enjoys sweeping views over central Wellington, while the pavilion and townhouses to the north serve to protect the northerly aspect of the tower and provide a successful mix of scale to the project.

In terms of materials, the design incorporates extensive floor to ceiling aluminium glazing to the north and south facades of the tower, with precast panelling to the flank walls. Both the pavilions and the town houses are of lightweight construction between precast concrete flank walls, and employ profiled metal panels, aluminium framed glazing and expressed fibreboard cladding.
