Here's Home: 11 Collingwood Street

11 Collingwood Street is finished – seven two- and three-bedroom homes in Waterloo, Lower Hutt, ready for their new owners.

Seven homes across two blocks on a quiet street lined with mature pōhutukawa. Waterloo Station, the local shops, parks and schools are all a short walk away.

Two blocks, two ways to live

The front three are classic terraced homes, entered off Collingwood Street behind a deep grassy lawn. Voxell Architects gave them a tall, elegant look – small sheltered porches, cedar weatherboards and profiled metal cladding. The living spaces open onto west-facing decks, and you can choose two or three bedrooms.

The back four have garages off a landscaped driveway on the southern side of the site, and each has an ensuite. They're wider than a standard townhouse, so the living areas wrap around a private courtyard on the north side. Sheltered from the southerly and in sun all day, each courtyard opens on two sides into the living and dining rooms and brings light deep into the house.

Living in Waterloo

A walkway on the southern edge of the site cuts through to Trafalgar Park, a few doors down on Brook Street. From Waterloo Station it's a direct line into Wellington. Waterloo Kindergarten, Waterloo School, Hutt Intermediate and Hutt Valley High School are all nearby, and Queensgate and the river trails are a few minutes' drive.

Thank you
