Final design completes lower west side
Nov 2nd
Vicki Holder from DesignDaily writes about the impressive Building 6 at Rhubarb Lane by Peddle Thorpe Architects.
The final building in Auckland’s six Rhubard Lane group is the aptly named No. 6 Rhubarb Lane, by Peddle Thorp Architects.
No. 6 Rhubarb Lane by Peddle Thorpe Architects actually straddles the laneway itself.
It contains 15 aPods sized between 170 – 506m2 and much of its framework is inspired by New York loft-style apartments in the celebrated Soho district. Modern interpretations of warehouse spaces use raw materials like polished metal surfaces and exposed concrete.
A feature particularly unique to this building is the innovative “Living Bridge” that will straddle the lane, connecting the two sides of the laneway and making for impressive views over the bustling activity below. One of Peddle Thorp’s directors, Richard Goldie says “with the adjacent 90 degree angles and large amount of glass used, privacy has been carefully managed while retaining excellent natural light flow.”

Rhubarb Lane Set to Redefine Auckland’s Historic Western CBD

Rhubarb Lane at Dusk: a lively precinct embracing a mix of commercial and residential opportunities.
Multiplex Living today announced that the limited release of No. 1 Rhubarb Lane, a sophisticated commercial and residential building designed by renowned Ian Moore Architects and developed by Rhubarb Lane Limited – will be revealed to the public in an exclusive launch in late April.
No. 1 Rhubarb Lane is the first building of six in the much anticipated Rhubarb Lane development and sits at the North- Western edge of the site at the junction of Sale Street and the future Rhubarb Lane. Comprising 12 freehold spaces suitable for residential, commercial or a combination of both, the building features a variety of layout options – a double-height ‘aPod& loft-style with an atrium, a two storey apartment or a functional work space, all with secure parking and priced from $599,000.
Multiplex Living is choosing to operate on a fully refundable ‘expression of interest& basis, with only those who have registered and paid a deposit able to attend the private launch appointment, take part in a presentation of the development and the pricing, and to potentially purchase a property. Confidence is very high for an immediate sell-out of the building, with a large guest list already tendering their interest.
