Sonata Apartments

Overlooking Auckland's prestigious St. Heliers Bay, these five luxury apartments combine contemporary design with a fresh coastal aesthetic.

North facing and filled with natural light, each apartment has private access and enjoys spectacular views over Waitemata Harbour, Rangitoto Island and across to the city.

The textured polished concrete exterior anchors the building’s fluid form, offset by dark, zinc-coloured windows and door frames, timber eaves and stone paving.

Inside, the warm, natural palette continues with white limestone plaster walls complemented by timber floors and joinery, natural stone tiling and marble kitchens.

Metallic accents and finely-crafted detailing create a relaxed yet highly considered interior that welcomes, calms and feels like home.

Buchan design principal Todd Crighton says Sonata has been sensitively designed to respect the scale of the surrounding homes and present a simple elegance to the street - 'We wanted to visually anchor the building to the site, while working within the demanding building envelope setbacks.'
