As Auckland grows denser, shared green spaces have become more essential. They’re where communities form and neighbourhoods take shape.
Our developments sit near existing parks and reserves, but we go further. We design green space into our neighbourhoods from the start: quiet corners, shared courtyards, native plantings, and pathways.
At Tihi, a shared village green sits at the heart of the development. Landscaped with native plants, it includes shaded areas to sit and relax plus places for the kids to climb and play. Several homes back directly onto this space, creating an easy flow between privacy and community.
Pathways weave between homes and link to the wider neighborhood, including the nearby Te Auaunga/Oakley Creek walkway. Good design isn’t just about individual houses. It’s about how people move, meet, and belong.
Tihi was created with award-winning Stevens Lawson Architects, Māori design specialist Graham Tipene, and Strachan Group Landscape Architects in a collaboration rooted in Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles.
Morgan & Midgley and Saltwood
At Morgan & Midgley in Hobsonville and Saltwood in Red Beach, landscape design embraces the coast. Native planting softens built edges. Walkways encourage exploration. These spaces feel like natural extensions of the waterfront and bush, not afterthoughts.
Green spaces improve air quality, support biodiversity, manage stormwater, and moderate temperature. Research shows they reduce stress, encourage physical activity, and strengthen social bonds.
For first-home buyers, growing families, and downsizers these spaces offer something rare in Auckland: room to slow down and feel at home. We build them in because they work.
