Resolution Design – Designed to please Resolution Design Architectural o ers clients industry-leading capability, delivering simultaneous multiple projects of scale, says company director Sunil Bakshi. “I don’t know of any other practice delivering at the kind of scale we are consistently,” he says. “We work alongside our clients to take the design lead, manage the construction process then deliver the inished project.” He says the practice is able to work at this kind of scale due to a good strong team. “By providing extensive and exciting work we can attract the best talent and keep it for the bene it of our clients,” he says. Resolution Design Architectural has worked alongside clients such as Clarke Group from its inception helping signi icantly increase the capacity of the Group’s output as demand has grown. The practice is involved right from the outset of each project including site selection. “It’s been a very fruitful relationship. Clarke Group has great motivation for the work it is doing to deliver housing that is needed and we deliver design that sits alongside that. This means that we really try to keep the end user in mind throughout the process, encourage best practice design and high-end amenities. It’s about delivering a quality result for the occupants.” Sunil started Resolution Design Architectural in 2014 and it is his extensive knowledge of building practice and council processes and legislation, which sets the company apart. Sunil brings to the company a background in teaching architecture at Victoria University and has previously worked as a professional building consultant for a private division of Auckland Council. Sunil says that this means he can often anticipate at the design stage what questions Council might have and possible compliance issues and therefore address these early on saving the client time, money and hassle. The Resolution Design Architectural team includes experts in drafting, urban design, architecture, building science and landscape design. Services include architecture, outdoor design, garden architecture, visual assessment services and subdivision design. It’s a comprehensive o ering, which has seen the company work on a variety of projects for clients including residential, medium to high-density housing and commercial. At present for Clarke Group Resolution Design Architectural is busy working on a range of projects throughout Auckland including Chapel Studios at 169 Chapel Road in Flatbush comprising 75 studios, 110 Alfriston Road, Manurewa (100 studios), a 140 studio project at Conifer Grove and 160 studios at Walmsley Road, Favona. The innovative Clarke Group designs delivers much needed accommodation to the Auckland market, says Sunil. Each studio o ers ensuite, tea and co ee making facilities. Sunil says that the aim is to deliver rent by the room accommodation that has been raised a notch in terms of userbility, comfort and safety to deliver a new model of a ordable housing.
