Connection with the external landscape was a key design driver and it evolved to achieve the optimal orientation for the apartments, view shafts to the harbour and Mount Maunganui while retaining as many existing trees on the site as possible.
The design adopts a consistent and contemporary aesthetic but is deliberate in the inclusion of a reasonable degree of variety to ensure articulation, richness and diversity between and in the layout of the buildings as well as the selection of building materials and finishes. The village has been designed to allow for phased development stages enabling existing residents to be incorporated into the new developments with minimal disruption.
A portion of The Bayview Master Plan identifies the central circulation hub between the main building elements, their respective entry points and the relationship with the longitudinal pedestrian spine that connects all the Independent Living blocks.
Stage 1 of the development involved the demolition of selected existing structures on the southwestern boundary of the site to make way for a 60-resident Care facility, incorporating associated communal and service areas. This stage also included a central kitchen, storage areas, service rooms, and provisions for service access and loading.
Stage 2 delivered 71 independent living apartments along with shared communal spaces. This stage forms the central hub of the development, incorporating reception, lounges, dining areas, a support kitchen, and various activity and amenity spaces. Parking for 41 vehicles was provided via an undercroft arrangement.
Stage 3 comprises a new three storey apartment building, offering 28 additional units.
