The Birch Street Development exemplifies Voxell’s approach to modern medium-density living, delivering a well-considered architectural response to the increasing housing demand in the Wellington region. Featuring 4 dual-key units and 4 townhouses, the development balances density with design through staggered building forms, modulated rooflines, and carefully positioned setbacks to maximize natural light, privacy, and functional outdoor spaces. Drawing inspiration from the local architectural vernacular, the design incorporates mono-pitched roofs, brick veneer, and timber detailing, creating a visually engaging streetscape that respects its surroundings while offering a contemporary edge.

The use of robust, low-maintenance materials ensures longevity and ease of upkeep, while sustainable design elements like rainwater collection systems and native planting further enhance the project’s environmental responsiveness.
