A planned precinct, built around water and glass

Century City is a mixed-use precinct laid out around a network of canals and the Intaka Island wetland reserve, close to the N1, with apartment blocks, office parks and retail all in one planned development. It’s a very different housing type to Baronetcy’s freestanding hillside homes — mostly high-volume, newer apartments — but the underlying window problem is the same one we solve every day at the estate: generous floor-to-ceiling glass, arriving from the developer with no covering at all.

Canal- and marina-facing units carry the same tension Baronetcy’s ocean-view rooms do — big glass built to show off the water view also lets in the full force of the afternoon sun. And in a stacked apartment block, evening privacy from neighbouring units and walkways matters more than it does on a freestanding house with real garden distance.

  • Sunscreen roller blinds to keep the canal or marina view while cutting glare
  • Blockout or double rollers for bedrooms and evening privacy in close-set blocks
  • Battery-powered motorised blinds where a retrofit apartment has no easy new wiring
  • Vertical or panel blinds for wide sliding doors onto a balcony

Local note

Many Century City blocks have their own body corporate rules on window coverings visible from outside — we can advise on colours and finishes that tend to be approved, but always confirm the specific building’s rules before ordering anything visible from the canal side.

Served on the same run

We measure and fit in Century City as part of the same northern-suburbs run that covers Baronetcy Estate — the same fabric samples, the same battery and wired motorisation options, and the same written, itemised quote.
