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.
Commanding the three street fronts of York, Bradford, and Earle Streets, the upper levels capture views north-east to Rangitoto Island and the 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.
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.

DISTINCTIVE DESIGN THAT SPEAKS TO YOUR TASTE
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.

COMMUNITY
JUST THE WAY YOU LEFT IT
There’s peace of mind in community living, and an inherent sense of companionship to be created. The inviting lobby at York House is both a place to welcome the ones you love and a transitional space to converse with your new neighbours.
Parcels are discreetly locked in the mailroom and security is carefully guarded by the latest technology. Two basement levels are reserved for secure car parking, and two lifts travel effortlessly between each floor. A place to await you while your adventures take you elsewhere.
APARTMENTS
MATERIALITY MASTERED
York House’s collection of apartments take full advantage of their harbour, city and urban viewpoints. Available in one and two-bedroom configurations, each presents features and benefits to suit how you like to make the most of every day.

PENTHOUSES
LEVELS 4 & 5
ENDURING ELEMENTS
At York House, eight remarkable penthouses span the top two levels in a show of modernist style. Each living space is drawn to act as both your retreat and the drawcard, with a fireplace to rest beside and uninterrupted views of Auckland’s best highlights.
← Penthouse terrace
As a considered thought to the dynamic design, many of the penthouses feature either a convenient home office or restful media room, and a select few layouts are fit with both.
For summer nights in and gatherings planned, the built-in outdoor kitchen features a barbeque, mini-fridge and sink to play to an entertainer’s strengths.

CELLAR
TREASURED COLLECTIONS
While York House is designed to make the most of its location, and the abundance of amenity right on its doorstep, here you will find a private wine cellar and tasting room keeping residents front-of-mind.
The intimate space provides a special place to savour your own personal collection from your private full-sized wine locker. Kept under lock and key, this is a reserved feature for each penthouse resident, and is an optional extra for only a few apartment residents.
