SKHY is a new residential precinct for Auckland. A beautifully designed collection of apartments and buildings with an enduring sense of quality and character. Six distinct and unique apartment types are available, with robust architecture and elegant interiors designed by award winning Cheshire Architects in collaboration with one of Auckland’s finest landscapers, Damian Wendelborn, and developers Lamont & Co. The first SKHY apartments are now complete with residents moving in. The second stage of apartments will be delivered in mid-late 2019.
SKHY has a home for everyone, covering one to three bedroom options: voluminous warehouse apartments with flexible layouts; garden apartments with expansive outdoor terraces; elegant tower apartments; dual aspect two storey apartments; sun filled west-facing terrace apartments; and grand, high-ceilinged pavilions.
Set beneath the residences of SKHY, intimate lanes flanked by boutique studios provide a gentle sense of activity and neighbourhood at ground level. The lush garden courtyard at the precinct’s heart is drenched in afternoon sun, and offers a peaceful sanctuary on the edge of a vibrant city.
Voluminous apartments defined by exposed concrete beams and columns, lofty ceilings and either warm oak or polished concrete floors
An internal 'service box' wrapped with soft birch plywood is a feature of each apartment. The boxes incorporate bathroom and storage areas internally, and anchor the kitchen on the outside
Each apartment has a mechanical fresh air supply and radiant foils are installed within the ceilings to provide heating
Fully glazed facades incorporate large sliding doors with openings up to 1.7m wide
The open plan apartments support a range of flexible living and working concepts
Huge terraces provide an almost unprecedented scale of outdoor living
Expansive open plan living and dining areas are set into the tower's concrete frame and have been carefully crafted from warm timbers, soft plasters and superb, high-quality fittings
Bathrooms are well appointed with timber and reconstituted stone vanities and tiled floors incorporating underfloor heating

Spacious covered terraces adjoin living areas
Each apartment boasts large living spaces which are articulated by the pavilion building's saw tooth roof structure. This design feature creates a sloped ceiling which extends up to 3.5m in height and allows for high-level north and east facing clerestory windows
Generous private and sheltered terraces extend to 7m in length across each apartment's northern façade
Lofty, open plan living and dining areas are defined by exposed concrete ceiling beams and columns
West facing living and balcony areas overlook SKHY’s garden square or beyond to the Waitemata Harbour and across to the Waitakere Ranges
Extensive and versatile storage areas extend through the length of the apartments
The two storey apartment design has been inspired by the renowned modernist architect Le Corbusier' s Unité d'Habitation in Marseille, France
Dual aspect apartments position living areas to the north overlooking SKHY's garden square, and bedrooms to the south where robust concrete façade panels are orientated like fins to create quiet internal sanctuaries, direct views to the west, and draw in afternoon sun
Bedrooms are separated across floors and are both lined with extensive wardrobe cabinetry
Some apartments have views to Mt Eden
