Transforming an existing retirement village into a modern, high-quality waterfront living environment.
The former Maureen Plowman retirement village was comprehensively redeveloped into a contemporary retirement facility designed to support independent living, alongside access to rest home, hospital care, and shared community amenities. The project required a sensitive response within an established coastal setting, balancing redevelopment with retention of key landscape features and resident wellbeing.
Boffa Miskell was engaged to support the project in two key areas. Initially, the team provided urban design and landscape planning advice to inform and support the resource consent process. This included developing design inputs and preparing visual material, including visual simulations, to support a Landscape and Visual Effects Assessment within a complex planning context.
