This Parnell sanctuary offers contemporary inner-city living in one of Auckland’s most coveted suburbs. It’s one of two new houses on a shared site occupied by two young families.

The ANZ branch at 205 Queen Street occupies a special place in the Bank's branch network. Established originally in 1989, the buildings on this block were developed by a joint venture including the National Bank as part of the drive to secure premium branch sites.

This two floor fitout of a central Wellington building is intended to establish a strong ANZ presence on the premier shopping street.

The standard range of elements, colours and textures developed by ASC Architects for the Bank has been applied in the large and very open space, with some enhanced architectural features to make the best of the key urban location.

As part of its ongoing strategy to re-invent the retail banking experience, ANZ asked ASC Architects to explore a new concept in retail mall banking, with an emphasis on the 'home' aspect of home lending.
