The Rhodes Stack is a bold and innovative residential development designed to bring high-quality, sustainable housing solutions to the heart of Wellington's urban landscape. Situated on the steep slopes of Sar Street in Pipitea, this development transforms a previously vacant and overgrown site into a vibrant, modern living space that harmoniously integrates with its surroundings.

 

The project features four contemporary two-bedroom apartments, each thoughtfully crafted to maximise living comfort and environmental sustainability. The development comprises Ecotech Commercial Volumetric 2-bedroom (duo-mod) Modular Housing units, reflecting a commitment to cutting-edge modular construction technology. These modular units not only ensure precision in construction but also minimise waste and environmental impact.

 

Each apartment boasts a 55m² interior complemented by private deck spaces ranging from 5.4m² to 9.7m², offering stunning views of Wellington Harbour and the surrounding urban and industrial landscapes. The design prioritises open-plan living, with living areas oriented to capture natural light and picturesque vistas, while private bedrooms are tucked away for enhanced privacy.  A key feature of the development is its innovative carpark unit, a two-level structure accommodating four carparks, accessed via mechanical lifts. This efficient use of space ensures the steep site remains functional while preserving its aesthetic appeal.

 

The architecture responds thoughtfully to the challenging topography of the site. The building form steps with the slope, creating a dynamic and visually appealing streetscape presence. Upper and lower levels are staggered to reduce visual bulk, while cantilevered decks and an open carport introduce a sense of lightness and permeability to the design.

​

By leveraging modular construction and sustainable design principles, the Rhodes Apartments Modular project exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to urban housing. It delivers stylish, efficient, and environmentally conscious homes that meet the needs of modern city living while respecting the unique challenges and opportunities of its location.
