Located in Auckland, New Zealand, the Ockham Koa Flats is a multi-story residential building that boasts modern design elements and high-quality finishes. The building's balconies and stair balustrades were supplied by UNEX Systems a company renowned for delivering visually appealing, high-quality products.

Deputy Mayor Desley Simpson praised the Ockham Koa Flats for delivering "great design, liveability and affordability," while also emphasizing the importance of using quality materials and products that meet or exceed building codes and regulations.

To meet the project's design requirements, UNEX Systems worked closely with Ockham and Kirk Roberts Consulting Engineers to produce custom-engineered balustrades and PS1's that met all relevant building codes and regulations. The company recommended their Hampton Framed Balustrade system with curved extrusions, which provided a custom look that complemented the building's unique deck design.

The Hampton Framed Balustrade system is made from high-quality aluminum and features a powder-coated finish for excellent durability and corrosion resistance.

The project required a total of 109 linear meters of balustrade, including retaining walls, balcony, and stair balustrades. The UNEX Hampton Framed Balustrade system was modified to feature curved extrusion, slim fine-style balusters and posts that complemented the building's overall design aesthetic, while also providing the necessary safety and functionality required by building codes.

Products Used:

• UNEX Hampton Balustrade fixed to concrete
• UNEX Ascot Balustrade fixed to concrete
• UNEX Windsor Balustrade fixed to concrete
• UNEX Handrails

Overall, the Hampton Framed Balustrade system has proven to be an excellent choice for the Ockham Koa Flats project, creating a modern and functional residential building that is sure to be enjoyed by residents for years to come.
