4/167 Hobsonville Point Road, Hobsonville, Waitakere City, Auckland

Step inside and feel the difference. This freehold north-facing corner residence at The Grounds is more than an apartment — it’s an experience in light, texture, and design integrity.

Conceived by Peddle Thorp Architects, the multi-award-winning studio behind New Zealand’s pioneering mass-timber residences, this apartment captures the essence of nature and urban cool. The exterior’s vertical fins and unique timber detailing hint at what’s inside — a space that’s sophisticated, soulful, and effortlessly liveable.

Inside, the warmth of timber meets industrial soul. The open-plan living space celebrates its architectural DNA with a soaring 2.7m-high ceiling, featuring exposed ducting and timber beams, while generous double glazing showcases a striking wood wall and engineered timber flooring.

Throughout, the craftsmanship is unmistakably bespoke. The custom Euro Oak island bench – a functional work of art framed by powder-coated metal legs with mobile drawers – anchors the designer kitchen, adorned with engineered stone, high-quality appliances, soft-close cabinetry, and a chic splashback that complements its contemporary palette.

The design story continues with the thoughtfully positioned bedrooms set back from the main living space for privacy. The fully tiled bathroom, featuring a herringbone-patterned wall, a floating vanity, and a large frameless glass shower, is connected to nature with a leafy green outlook – a rare find in apartment living.

Dual access via the large north-facing deck and lush green yard, or the internal lobby that leads to your dedicated carpark and storage locker, adding practicality to the picture — the finishing touches to a refined, low-maintenance lock-and-leave lifestyle.

Constructed with engineered mass timber, The Grounds represents a new generation of sustainable design. Completed in 2019, this award-winning development redefines how New Zealand builds for the future.

Set in the heart of Hobsonville Point, one of Auckland’s most sought-after master-planned communities, you’re steps from cafés, coastal walkways, parks, and the ferry to the CBD. With excellent schools, weekend markets, and an easy commute, this is where convenience and community come naturally.

Award-winning architecture, effortless living. Calling all first home buyers, professionals, downsizers, and investors — this is where design and lifestyle meet.
