Coronation Road Residential Development
The Coronation Road development project has an innovative and design led approach, which places a significant focus on communities, reinforced around their activities, their relationships to the landscape and their relationships with one another. Situated only 10mins walk from Mangere Bridge Village, Coronation Road is on one of the main arterial roads of the area.  The site has significant visual connection to Mangere Mountain with which it sits adjacent and from this strong design notions have been carried through and celebrated within the site. There are 5 notable features within the Stage 1 development at Coronation road. These include: the Entry Plaza/Crescent, Shared Space access roads, North/South green, Residential/Park Interface and the  Community Gardens. There configuration of Tanners Road formalises the entrance into the development. Trees and simple planting that includes hedges and native shrubs accentuate the area, whilst varying surface materials begin to illustrate the palette and overall design integrity of the development. Entrance points are identified for both pedestrian and vehicular access, with the later applying traffic calming measures through a raised vehicle table. The shared space access roads encourage a positive shift away from the typical vehicle dominated access ways and also offer an alternative from the prevalence of the rear lane concept commonly associated with terrace housing developments. The widths of the roads are minimised wherever possible and envisage use as both play and practical spaces.
