Places worth staying.
We choose sites for what they give back: orientation, outlook and a sense of belonging. Two Mile Bay sits fifty metres from Lake Taupō, looking west to the peaks of Tongariro.
Residential development · Aotearoa New Zealand
Built with intent. Designed for life.
We create architecturally led homes in places worth staying — considered from the first site walk to the day the keys change hands.

01 Who we are
We develop homes the way an architect would want them built. Fewer, better places — shaped by light, land and the way people really live, and delivered without compromise.
Abode Residential brings land, architecture and construction together under one considered vision. We partner with leading New Zealand architects and trusted builders, and we stay with every project from feasibility through to handover.

03 Approach
From first site walkto final handover.
One team holds the vision the whole way through, so nothing is lost between the drawing and the doorstep.
Design leads.
We partner with leading architects and give them room to do their best work. At Two Mile Terraces, that's Auckland's Strata Studio, drawing on New Zealand's finest alpine lodges.
Built to last.
Timber, stone and glass, selected for longevity and ease. Every junction is resolved on paper before it's built on site, so quality never depends on luck.
Ready on day one.
Homes are handed over complete and considered — secure garaging, low-maintenance materials and room to gather. Lock-and-leave, or forever.
