We’re thrilled to share that Ashton Mitchell has had two projects shortlisted in the Te Kahui Whaihanga NZ Institute of Architects Auckland Architecture Awards 2025 shortlist. Sefton House, and Glenview Apartments in collaboration with SGA Ltd.
Nestled on an elevated corner site in Glen Eden, Glenview Apartments provides medium-density social housing living with warm, light-filled homes designed for both privacy and community at its heart.
Designed in collaboration with SGA Architects, the 24-unit development is positioned around a central landscaped courtyard, balancing density with liveability while ensuring a refined street presence. Apartments are arranged to maximize natural light and dual-aspect views, with living areas oriented to the city skyline and the green expanse of Waikumete.
Tucked into a steep, native tree-lined site in Grey Lynn, Sefton House redefines what’s possible for compact family living in the inner suburbs. Inspired by Wellington’s hillside suburbs, this 150m² family home carefully steps with the land—maximising light, views, and privacy, while preserving native vegetation.
Black Colorsteel cladding and oiled cedar create a striking yet understated exterior, while warm plywood and timber interiors bring a natural, inviting feel. A true exemplar of infill housing done right, proving that compact homes can be both thoughtful and beautiful.
A huge thank you to our clients, collaborators, consultants, and the project teams who helped bring these designs to life. Congratulations to all the finalists—we’re looking forward to celebrating great architecture together!
