Co-haus is a people-led residential development located in the vibrant heart of Grey Lynn. The project features a three-storey apartment building facing the main road, complemented by a two-storey block of terrace houses.

An original villa on the site has been relocated to the western corner and refurbished. The buildings are thoughtfully arranged around a shared north-facing courtyard, fostering a sense of community and connection.

The development accommodates 19 units, ranging from one-bedroom to five-bedroom apartments, catering to diverse living needs. Shared facilities enhance communal living and include a guest bedroom, a garden pavilion, storage, laundry, shared cars, bike parking and vehicle parking. Centralizing most services contributes to substantial efficiency and low operational costs.

A solar PV system provides renewable energy to the central services and allows for surplus energy to be exported to the grid. The landscape design, developed in collaboration with residents, offers privacy while enhancing amenity. Ground floor units feature gardens and direct street access, while upper-level units and those in the courtyard are accessed via broad, open passageways.

Co-haus exemplifies a commitment to community living in an urban area, sustainability, and efficient design.

Collaborative Projects Studio became involved in this unique project during the Developed Design stage, providing their expertise in documentation for consenting purposes and assisting with communication among consultants and stakeholders to help refine the final design and details.
