For the last year or so I have watched the construction of three blocks of eight terraced houses take shape in Auckland's Millwater subdivision. Nice, a bit of medium density development to deal with the housing shortage.
One block is now finished, one nearly done and the third is being framed up. Every unit is the same, with a pleasant garden and a set of steps leading up to a... blank wall.
Now, I'm sure the designer had his or her reasons for this, but it's all a bit post-modern in a post-post-modern world for me. Maybe the new owners enjoy their isolation. The message is certainly "Don't knock on our front door - we don't have one!"
