Aria

Aria Apartments at Vinegar Lane is a landmark mixed-use development that showcases sustainable urban living in the heart of Ponsonby. Designed by award-winning architects TOA Architects, Aria blends architectural innovation, environmental performance, and community-focused design to create a vibrant living experience.

As a key project within the pioneering Vinegar Lane precinct, Aria Apartments exemplifies high-density living done differently—prioritising natural light, cross-ventilation, energy efficiency, and enduring materials. The building features a mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments, alongside ground-floor commercial tenancies that activate the streetscape.

Aria received national recognition for its design excellence, winning the New Zealand Architecture Award for Housing – Multi-Unit (2018). The judges praised its sensitive scale, contextual response, and commitment to sustainable, people-centred design.

Aria Apartments stands as a model for smart, future-focused development—balancing aesthetics, sustainability, and urban livability in one of Auckland’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.
