The Nikau apartments is first of several apartment buildings within the Botanic Retirement Village in Silverdale. It holds 32 apartment units across 4 floors, offering a mixture of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom typologies for the independent living residents. The building is mainly constructed with pre-cast concrete and Post-Tension Floor slabs due to the material’s robustness and longevity. The façade is further articulated with relief patterns and balcony shrouds to reduce visual dominance towards surrounding villas. These shroud elements also provide privacy, shade and shelter to increase the usage of the balcony spaces. The entry experience is airy and light thanks to the double height lobby space and this is further articulated by the shadows from the mesh screen over the entry glazing. This is repeated on each floor to ensure that the residents are always close to natural light.
The Clubhouse offers spaces for dining, and entertainment, while the Pool House presents a suite of amenities including a 20-meter pool, gym, spa, sauna, and steam room. The form draws inspiration from the traditional gable roofs but with a twist to portray a playfulness that one can appreciate over time. The blend of timber and glass in the building facade allows flexibility on the residents approach and use of this communal space. The transparency of the buildings not only fosters a lively atmosphere but being visible from most parts of the village, it passively attracts the fun seekers throughout the day.
