Occam’s Razor (or Ockham’s Razor, also known as the Principle of Parsimony) is the idea that more straightforward explanations are, in general, better. That is, if you have two possible theories that fit all available evidence, the best theory is the one with fewer moving parts.

Kōkihi – All Units Sold

The striking next instalment of Ockham Residential’s story, Kōkihi is an elegant, enduring and affordable development destined to become a feature of its community. Let’s take you there.

A supremely located seaside suburb that lives up to the name, Waterview sits just 6.5km from Auckland’s CBD. Here you’re on the edge of the action — plenty of bustle and buzz, but without the bedlam. Waterview’s the hub that leads everywhere, connecting the motorways and cycleways which take you north, south, east and west.
A building has to be of the highest quality to belong here. And Kōkihi hits the mark in every way: three buildings, each with the widely admired Ockham ‘look’— timeless brick and precast concrete facades. There’s the Ockham emphasis on lifestyle — a ground floor residents’ lounge flowing out to a large garden and pool.
These will be buildings that people like to look at — and to live in. With Ockham’s emphasis on longevity, durability and low-maintenance elegance at every turn, Kōkihi is as handsome inside as out. With double-glazing and excellent inter-tenancy soundproofing you’re quiet and tucked away — but with the bonus of the Kōkihi Community there when you want it.

Expected completion Quarter 3 2021.

Design Inspiration

Kōkihi’s exterior brickwork grabs the eye at once. The layering of coloured bricks, mortar colours and extruded bricks is a striking but also subtle homage to the tukutuku panels that adorn the interior of Hotunui.

Easily the most visited wharenui in the land, Hotunui was loaned to the people of Tāmaki Makaurau by Ngāti Maru and the other Marutūāhu Iwi. It has lived within Auckland War Memorial Museum since 1928; Kōkihi seeks its inspiration from this magnificent meeting house.

You see, there’s a story here. We’re building Kōkihi in partnership with the Marutūāhu Iwi. It’s our second development together following Tuatahi, a union that recognises our commitment to community, to whānau, to whenua. We build to last; Kōkihi looks impressive enough now, but will age splendidly.

Fully sold

All 95 apartments at Kōkihi were sold by October 2020. If you're looking for an Ockham development nearby, please check out Aroha.

The Kōkihi Local’s Guide to Waterview

For all its considerable charms, Waterview remains one of Auckland’s undiscovered residential nooks. Look west for sunset views over the inner reaches of the Waitematā Harbour — the very watery views that give the suburb its name. To the north and east is Te Auaunga/Oakley Creek, a pretty stream edged with native bush and mature exotic trees, with its very own waterfall. Waterview is less than 7km from the city centre, yet even that fact doesn’t capture quite how handy the neighbourhood actually is.

The process of researching and purchasing an apartment off-plan can seem very daunting, particularly for first time buyers. We've put together some excellent resources for helping you with your journey.

Our Philosophy

We see housing as infrastructure. That allows us to consider the long-term outcomes of development rather than just focus on the short-term bottom line.

Ockham/ˈɒkəm/ is a rural and semi-rural village in the borough of Guildford in Surrey, England. The village starts immediately east of the A3 but the lands extend to the River Wey in the west where it has a large mill-house. Ockham is between Cobham (near Leatherhead) and East Horsley (near Guildford).

History[edit]

Eset cyber security pro for mac. Ockham has been occupied since at least the middle bronze age (c.1500-1100 BC), evidenced by the so-called 'Ockham Hoard'. a collection of bronze-age objects discovered in 2013 during building works at the former Hautboy Inn,^[2][3] as well as the existence of a, relatively uncommon, bell barrow on Cockcrow Hill.^[4] Microsoft app remote desktop.

Ockham appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Bocheham. Held by Richard Fitz Gilbert, its domesday assets were: 1½ hides, 1 church, 2 fisheries worth 10d, 3 ploughs, 2 acres (0.81 ha) of meadow, woodland worth 60 hogs. It rendered £10 per year to its overlords.^[5][6]

All Saints' Church is a Grade I listed building. The foundations were laid in the 12th century, and part of the nave was built then. The chancel and north aisle date from the 13th century, the south nave wall from the 14th century, and the tower and north aisle wall from the 15th century. A small chapel (north wing) was finished in 1735. The whole building was restored and enlarged in 1874-75 by Thomas Graham Jackson.

Through the Middle Ages in the many records nationally (such as Assize Rolls and feet of fines), Ockham features no high nobles among its owners. However it is the birthplace of William of Ockham^[7] the famous mediaeval philosopher and the proponent of Occam's razor.

Byron's daughter, Ada Lovelace, lived briefly at Ockham Park before settling at Horsley Towers, which her husband the 1st Earl of Lovelace built in the village of East Horsley. His forefather Sir Peter King bought the manor using an Act of Parliament to cement the deal from the long-standing lords of the manor the Weston family of Albury, Send in Surrey, and of Sussex, who had acquired the manor from distant cousins who since their late Tudor period forebear, Francis Weston, owned it along with Sutton Place, Surrey in the extreme south of the parish of Woking.^[6]

An act of charity in the village assisted one family in the 'Underground Railroad' in the US that resulted from the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. After reaching Liverpool in 1850, following an arduous journey starting with a flight to freedom from Macon, Georgia, African-American slaves Ellen and William Craft were given a home by a parishioner in Ockham in 1851. They attended the Ockham School, and paid for their education by working as teachers: William giving instruction in carpentry, and Ellen in sewing. In 1852 their first child, Charles Estlin Phillips Craft, was born in Ockham. One year later, they left Ockham and returned to London. In 1871, after returning to Georgia, they started the Woodville Co-Operative Farm School, modelled after the Ockham School.^[8]

Geology[edit]

Smash brothers switch controls. The soil of Ockham Common varies between fertile light clay and humus topsoil to highly acidic, sandy heath. In the north is the high, uneroded Bagshot Sand. The southern part of the parish is on the London Clay. Part of the Wey Valley in the west of the parish and the banks of a stream which joins it from the east are particularly formed from alluvium.^[6]

Landmarks[edit]

Chatley Heath and its semaphore tower[edit]

The tall, narrow Octagonal, inhabitable tower dates to the early 19th century when the Napoleonic Wars were raging.

Ockham mill[edit]

One of the largest formerly industrial millhouses on the Wey, comparable to the converted mills in Old Woking and that of Stoke Mill, Guildford, Ockham mill is dated 1862 and is a Grade II listed building. It is of four storeys red stock brick with decorative brick and tile bands over each floor. Providing unusual quirkiness, it has brick-dentilled eaves over its third 3 first floor and one of its windows is considered 'Lovelace style', i.e. with deeply inlaid recess as in the East Horsley walls of the memorials to the Earl of Lovelace.^[9]

Wisley Airfield on Ockham Common[edit]

Ockham Common, to the north-east of the village, is the site of the disused Wisley Airfield,^[10][11] which has a paved 2 km (1.2 mi) runway (RWY 10/28). As late as 1972, this airfield was in service as a satellite fit-out and flight test centre for Vickers and latterly the British Aircraft Corporation, linked to their main factory and airfield at nearby Brooklands,^[12] Weybridge, capable of taking aircraft as large as the VC10.

Although the airfield is disused, the aviation connection remains: it is the location of OCK,^[13] a VOR navigational beacon which is the holding facility for south westerly arrivals into London Heathrow Airport.

Church[edit]

Ockham has a small church, All Saints described above;^[14] a memorial to those who gave their lives in the Great War and World War II

Martyrs Green[edit]

Occam

This small linear settlement is a hamlet to the east of the village, near Downside and Cobham. It has the village's only pub; The Black Swan.

Sports[edit]

Ockham has cricket and football clubs that play at weekends at Hautboy Meadows on Ockham Lane. The cricket club has two teams in the Surrey Downs League and a Sunday friendly (matches) only side. The football club are in the Guildford & Woking Alliance.

Demography and housing[edit]

The average level of accommodation in the region composed of detached houses was 28%, the average that was apartments was 22.6%.

William Ockham

The proportion of households in the civil parish who owned their home outright compares to the regional average of 35.1%. The proportion who owned their home with a loan compares to the regional average of 32.5%. The remaining % is made up of rented dwellings (plus a negligible % of households living rent-free).
