A row of townhouses under mature trees in Woburn, Nīkau Grove takes the standard medium-density typology and gives it a spine. Each home steps down the site under a raked monopitch roof, so the row reads as separate forms rather than one long terrace.

The material logic is simple and deliberate. Vertically grained cedar runs full height against corrugate, wrapping the angled gables and meeting the metal in a clean, considered join. Full-height entry doors pull daylight deep into each home. The cedar is finished to silver off naturally over time, weathering into the bush setting rather than fighting it with a recoating cycle nobody keeps up

Delivered for Faisandier Group across four blocks, Nīkau Grove is medium-density done properly: consistent documentation, a builder kept on the front foot, and a result the developer is proud to take to market.
