The Terraces

Designed by architect Dr. Robert Donald in the 70’s and building completed around 1978, ‘The Terraces’ were (/are) an impressive apartment block in Auckland’s Mission Bay Area. Each apartment sporting 180 degree views of the harbour with deck access via master bedroom and lounge.

Ive memories since childhood walking past these, as I still do whenever in the area. Its a shame we don’t see as much character in ‘most’ modern designs – then again, its not like it was commonplace in the 70’s either with most builds being typical box.
