Chelsea Rise is strategically positioned at the top of the ridgeline exposing it to all day sun and panoramic views.

This sophisticated building, capped by the penthouse level with its feature raked roofline, first reveals itself as you walk down the beautiful, ivy-lined pedestrian lane from Mokoia Road.

The Façade

Babbage Consultants have delivered a timeless design with a contemporary, urban aesthetic. The rhythmic façade is a geometric composition of concrete and glass with an interplay of cantilevered balconies and recessed decks. The open corner balconies lighten the edges of the building, as do the different shades of concrete which break up the lines of the façade.

Refined, functional details such as the timber privacy screens add warmth and verticality to the design, while slim steel eyebrows over the north facing windows add another layer of articulation to the architecture.
