Modern apartment building with glass windows and glass balustrades

The Dylan - Auckland

The Dylan is a high-quality and design-focused mixed-use apartment building in a prominent Auckland Central neighbourhood.
Glass-fronted commercial complex with multistory windows and matching glass balustrades

Project Overview

The Dylan is a high-quality and design-focused mixed-use apartment building in a prominent Auckland Central neighbourhood. The building sits on a privileged location, with the South-facing front facade on a busy street and the North part of the building overlooking the ocean and offering views of the city centre and the Waitakeres.

Unique Project Overview

  • Aesthetics: Importance of the design, due to the site’s high-visibility and immediate proximity to a heritage area.

  • Privacy: The use of frosted glass (opalucent) for the lower level balustrades to provide light while adding privacy from the street

  • Safety: Heat soaked toughened glass in North-facing windows for reducing the breakage potential from thermal stress and toughened laminated glass on balustrades.
