Suva Townhouses Approved

Our Suva townhouses have achieved Planning Approval and the construction documentation is almost complete. The development consists of 8 high-end townhouses, in a mix of 2 & 3 bedrooms, huddled amongst the distincitve palm trees of Suva. Construction to commence August 2020.

Designed for the tropical climate of Fiji, the building is elevated from the ground to capture ocean views and the ground level carpark is clad in breeze blocks to naturally ventilate the building. The breeze blocks have been designed in collaboration with the client, using their pre-cast concrete plant located in Fiji. All windows are glass louvres to promote air circulation, cross-ventilating the rooms to reduce the need for airconditioning. Large eaves overhangs and window hoods protect the windows from wind driven rain and the harsh afternoon sun.

A tropical life in Suva

Located within 200m of the ocean, this development was designed for the humid climate of Fiji and to capture the epic views of Laucala Bay. The development comprises 8 premier grade townhouses with garden and pool facilities, nestled amongst the exclusive, tropical setting of Suva.

The distinct landscape setting amongst the palm trees, provides an ideal back drop for a building that is responsive to the environment. Deep shadow boxes adorn the facades, providing shading from the sun and glass louvres in combination with breeze blocks, naturally ventilate the townhouses from an extremely humid environment, minimising the requirements for air conditioning.

The site area is 1,100m2 and the townhouses are designed over 3 levels. There is Ground level parking, Level 1 living and dining spaces and Level 2 bedrooms. Both level 1 and 2 capture amazing views of the ocean, over palm tree canopies. The townhouses are a mixture of 2 and 3 bedroom dwellings, with construction due to commence by October 2019.
