(Exhibit on Jervois)

In a captivating subversion of 113 Jervois Road’s contoured facade, Exhibit’s facade tells a unique story through the repetition of four carved concave bays. This narrative echoes within the building, as the voids artfully foster a balance between outward privacy and inner openness (achieved through strategic splayed geometry that shield’s apartments from the street's gaze). Clad in elongated textured limestone brick tiles the exterior transitions from tactile to refined concrete-rendered voids, commanding a play of light while creating depth and intrigue.

Exhibit comprises six generous and thoughtfully crafted apartments — one penthouse, two sub-penthouses, a full-floor garden apartment and two 3 bedroom residences. With large Northern terraces, the apartments are perfectly positioned to make the most of the stunning harbour views of the Waitemata. Every dwelling is a testament to the merging of aesthetics and practicality, where luxurious finishes harmoniously coalesce with well-conceived floorplans. Each space, born from careful consideration, intertwines living and entertainment areas seamlessly, alongside utilitarian zones like sculleries, separate laundries, and powder rooms. Amidst these interiors indoor and outdoor dialogue flourishes; wintergardens, nestled within the heart of each floor, gracefully demarcate spaces while amplifying light.

Monk Mackenzie

Since establishing their Auckland-based award-winning architectural practice in 2014, Hamish Monk and Dean Mackenzie have been driven by a shared ethos. This ethos centres on creating designs that exude elegance, possess sculptural qualities, and evoke a sense of poetry. Their approach transforms the built environment, leaving behind architecture that is not only sustainable and intelligent but also enduring.

With a broad focus encompassing residential, civic, commercial, and infrastructure projects on both local and international scales, Monk Mackenzie garnered numerous honours in 2022. Their remarkable work on the Jervois apartment building earned them wins at both the HERE Awards and the Best Awards, along with a coveted New Zealand Institute of Architects Award.
