20 | DEVELOPMENT Lockerbie Estate Lockerbie Estate well underway T from page 18 Lockerbie Estate has been carefully planned as an expansion of the historic rural township of Morrinsville. T to page 22 “There’s a whole ‘placemaking’ strategy so people can bond, relate and connect to one another, feel as though they belong, feel a sense of place and be proud to be part of that place,” says Adriaan. “The key to building that sense of community is intermingling the different types of homes to address the street outcome.” While some houses have been deliberately brought closer to the street, others have been stepped back to facilitate neighbourly interaction. Adriaan says early engagement and selection of a small group of residential building companies is also key to ensuring achievement of the Masterplan’s vision. Designed to attracting people from the outskirts of town, a destination playground will be built in conjunction with the Matamata-Piaka District Council and will include a café, car park and childcare facility. A small block nearby will include convenience retail. The Masterplan also incorporates a 165-unit retirement village, owned and managed by Lockerbie Estate. archistudio.co.nz kyle@archistudio.co.nz (+64) 21-060-1162 64a Devonport Road Tauranga, 3110 Innovative & future - focused homes Archistudio’s expertise in multi residential projects has seen the irm add real value to the Lockerbie Retirement Village.
