Design Inspiration

Aroha will both fit in and stand out in Avondale. Its white glazed brick mirrors the day, azure-tinted when the sun’s out, grey when it’s grim… flexing to meet the city’s ever-changing weather and mood.  

Aroha’s other brick, a dappled red with subtle mauve hues, adds warmth and old school elegance. And practicality: a core Ockham principle is to build with classic materials which not only look good, but minimise maintenance for residents. We build to last. And we build for our residents. We recognise a home sometimes needs to be a haven: with double-glazing and excellent inter-tenancy soundproofing our individual apartments are quiet and tucked away, offering a place of sanctuary.

But our buildings also become communities: Aroha has all the extras people expect from us, including a swimming pool, dual residents’ lounges, community gardens and secure covered carparking. In short: it’s Ockham quality inside and out.
