Boathouse Bay | Snells Beach, New Zealand | Boffa Miskell Limited https://lnkd.in/g4yNYbFn Boathouse Bay is a masterplanned housing development at the northern end of Snells Beach, north of Auckland. The site is bounded to the north and west by a prominent bush-clad rural headland; to the east by the long sweep of Snells Beach and Kawau Bay; and the south adjoins the suburban edge of the wider town. At the time of Boffa Miskell’s engagement, the 2.31 hectare L-shaped site was largely undeveloped; containing just two residences and a boatshed. The vision was to develop a beachside multi-unit development at an affordable entry point for people seeking to live a relaxed coastal lifestyle in a friendly community where people know their neighbours. #landscapearchitecture #community #planning #newzealand
