100 Anzac Apartments

100 Anzac (Century on Anzac) 14-level high rise apartment building in the Auckland CBD, was originally constructed in 2004, and has been transformed; the repurposing was a strategic rejuvenation of a failed building into a viable and valuable urban asset. The project also significantly reduced carbon emissions by reuse rather than demolishing and rebuilding and effectively demonstrates sustainable urban revitalisation.

Ignite Architects envisioned a curtainwall with grid patternation giving the façade a similar modern yet playful aesthetic to the adjacent University of Auckland building’s bright grid sun screening.

The Thermosash PW1000 high performance unitised curtainwall was selected for its proven weather and airtightness as well as its adaptability for integrated elements/features such as - the integrated high performance sliding doors and Juliet balustrading, opening sashes and our first installation of the Renson High Rise Acoustically Attenuated Passive Ventilator (named the 'Anzac Passive Ventilator').

Although the original open terraces have been enclosed by curtainwall, which significantly increases the internal square meterage of the apartments, the high-performance double sliding doors and Juliet balustrades provide light, airflow and a sense of openness. The curtainwall design respects the original, simple ‘cube’ design of the structure whilst providing a modern and weathertight high-performance envelope.

Thermosash has worked on 100 Anzac with Kwanto, Ignite Architects, RCC Construction and Jackson HVAC Solutions.
