York House
York House is a modernist marvel. Etched into the fabric of Parnell in Auckland, it is the vision of renowned developers Precinct in partnership with Icon Developments. Designed by acclaimed architects Monk MacKenzie, alongside prominent interior designer Amelia Holmes, each of the 44 residences is distinctive. Together, they become a master stroke of materiality and design. Beyond the doors, everything else you could need to fulfil your day awaits.
Drawing from its historic context and the surrounding volcanic environment, York House’s facade of bespoke charcoal concrete pleating makes an enduring statement. Every detail of the architecture is meticulous, from the curved articulation of the building along its boundary to the rounded moments found within each home.
The palette of warm and textural materials chosen for the interiors complements outstanding viewpoints framed by floor-to-ceiling glass. Living and entertaining areas roll out onto expansive terraces, connecting you to the horizon.
Intertwined with nature, a curated story takes form using stone, oak floors and an obsidian framework, while bespoke cabinetry is in keeping with a minimalist aesthetic.

Commanding the three street fronts of York, Bradford, and Earle Streets, the upper levels capture views north-east to Rangitoto Island and Waitematā Harbour, the CBD to the north-west, and Auckland Domain to the south-west. Each home on the lower levels takes full advantage of the streetscape character.
Parnell is the epitome of style and edge in Auckland, a fitting home for York House. Heritage villas and standout architecture sit side-by-side with contemporary workspaces and cutting-edge businesses. Here, fringe city living allows you to slip between notable boutiques, eateries and galleries into hidden gems, and then out among nature within mere moments from home. A place made especially for those who appreciate spontaneity and thrive on discovery.
