Tewa Banks

Tewa Banks

Tewa Banks is a 70 home mixed tenure housing development for the Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust. The project is located on a 3.6 hectare site beside the Arrow River and adjacent to the Arrowtown Golf Club. It is named after Jack Tewa who is credited with first discovering gold in the Arrow River in 1862.
The project provides local, affordable rental and rent-to-own opportunities for families and individual tenants of all ages. The house types range from single storey one bedroom accessible units to four bedroom two storey family homes.

The house typologies include standalone dwellings, semi-detached homes and terraced housing. Road surfaces will be formed as shared spaces, for resident use and community activities, while the site development includes community gardens and shared green spaces linking the site to the Arrow River.

JTB Architects provided masterplanning and lead design services for the site, as well as leading on designs for the various house typologies.
