What makes a Niche townhouse different?

1.      Thermally modelled for optimum performance

Say goodbye to overheating in summer and cold dark spaces in winter. Each Niche home has been meticulously analysed and modelled by a specialist to ensure optimum comfort all year round while minimising heating and cooling costs through better design.

3.      Engineered for durability, strength & comfort

Instead of using standard 90mm timber framing like everyone else, we utilise 140mm frames. This means a 140% increase in strength for wind loading and 55% increase for axial loading. As well as the additional strength, the increased cavity size allows thicker wall insulation, up to R4.3 which is more than double the building code.

5.      Future Proofed

Each townhouse is pre-wired for solar and pre-wired for EV chargers, so you have the flexibility to install later with minimal costs. We can also install both solar and EV charging for you during the build as an optional extra.  

2.      Stylish & considered architectural design

No two Niche developments are the same, each is unique and benefits from a bespoke architectural design that responds to the environment around it. We have designed 310 Lyttleton Street into two duplexes (pairs), so you only share a single wall, this means optimum sun, privacy and better appeal.

4.      Better Heating Cooling & Ventilation

We have specified not one but two Daikin heat pump outlets (one upstairs and one downstairs) for ultimate whole house climate control. Each bedroom has a state-of-the-art Heat Recovery Ventilation system, so that humid or old, stale air is automatically extracted and filtered fresh air from outside is then drawn in, pre-warmed and vented inside. This means almost no loss of heat/energy, and a continuous supply of fresh air. Each townhouse also boasts an electric opening Velux skylight, for light and natural ventilation.
