006 - Niagara Townhouses
Multi-Residential | Armidale, NSW | Project Status: Development Application
Situated on a site partially within a flood overlay in Armidale, NSW , the Niagara Townhouses offer a contemporary solution to urban living with a focus on the student rental market. This development features three thoughtfully designed townhouses, tailored to maximise north light and Dumresque creek views.
The design embraces a modern yet contextually sensitive approach, with light-toned bricks forming a durable, low-maintenance façade. Creative brickwork hit and miss patterns provide privacy, while adding texture and visual interest. Timber accents in soffits soften the geometric forms, bringing a sense of warmth to the crisp masonry aesthetic.
Staggered unit arrangements and steel-balustraded balconies promote passive surveillance, outdoor living, and a dynamic streetscape. Large recessed windows flood interiors with natural light, reduce heat gain, and frame views of the surrounding landscape, ensuring both thermal comfort and energy efficiency.
Balancing bold, modernist lines with contextual responsiveness, the Niagara Townhouses represent an environmentally conscious, visually cohesive, and highly practical solution for sustainable rural town housing.
