The Vulcan Apartments
The Vulcan Apartments, a prestigious two-tower development consisting of 38 freehold apartments, stands proudly in Auckland’s Victoria Quarter. Inspired by the site’s historical significance as an old metal foundry, the name “The Vulcan” pays tribute to the Roman God of Fire. Nestled at 1 Halsey Street, this architectural masterpiece exudes a distinctly New York vibe, harmonizing luxury with an urban setting.
Developed as a joint venture between Plutus Holdings Limited and Advantage Capital Limited, they appointed The Building Intelligence Group to spearhead the design management and construction delivery of this project. This case study explores the use of Acclaim Tile Shower enclosures, supplied by Newline Showers, in this prestigious development.
The Opportunity: A Visionary Redevelopment
The opportunity to transform the former metal foundry into a luxurious residential space and mixed-commercial building presented a unique and visionary redevelopment prospect. The goal was to reimagine the site’s industrial past and bring it to life in a contemporary and sophisticated manner. The Vulcan Apartments aimed to become an iconic landmark, combining historical roots with modern elegance, offering residents an unparalleled living experience in the heart of Auckland.
Why The Vulcan Apartments Chose the Acclaim Shower
To fulfill their commitment to luxury and sophistication, The Vulcan Apartments sought to curate an exceptional living environment down to the smallest detail. Newline Showers emerged as the natural choice for the project due to their reputation for providing high-quality shower systems that enhance bathroom spaces. The decision to partner with Newline Showers was driven by several key factors:

With a contemporary frameless design, this shower enclosure offers plenty of space and comfort for its users with a 1960mm high door and returns.
