30B Thackeray Street, Hamilton Lake, Hamilton, Waikato

Hidden away, Apartment-Y embodies contemporary architecture that is on-point and is a generously proportioned two-bedroom abode with 2 x ensuites, an office nook, plus almost unheard of for apartment living - very spacious 2 car garaging (7.6m x 7.6m plus high stud). Nestled away in a multi-award winning boutique complex of just 3, these set an exemplar for inner city housing. When Pam & Stuart decided to retire into the CBD, they had strong views, and both concurred that they wanted a bold, but simple and contemporary design.

Entrusting Adam Mercer to design, these apartments set out to not only challenge the concept of urban living, but succeeded in doing so with contemporary architecture that is on point. Designed to be strong and quiet, warm in winter, and cool in summer, a testimony to good architectural design and the thermal mass capabilities of masonry construction. The north facing aspect allows an abundance of natural light to flood the open plan layout throughout the day, and as the sun sets the city lights come to life creating a cosmopolitan feel. NZIA Awards Judges citation sums it up "the building is both strong and gentle, protective and open, and emanates a serene peacefulness that makes it a wonderful place to live.

Take it from the owners - "Architecture is the highest form of art, you live with it everyday", so urban living needn't mean compromising style and design for bland cookie-cutter options, come and discover this totally unique offering. After having enjoyed 18 years of 'retirement' living here, it's time for the final move to the coast, leaving behind a rare opportunity for new owners to secure this truly special home.
