Niche Design & Construction BUILDING Wanaka based Niche Design & Construction stands as a testament to the power of personalised craftsmanship in the realm of architecture and construction. Founded over a decade ago by Kawhata and Amy Williams, the company has carved a niche for itself with the couple aiming to delivering homes that transcend the ordinary ‘cookie-cutter’ designs that can be prevalent in the industry. “The genesis of Niche Design & Construction was rooted in the realization that there was a genuine need for meticulously crafted homes that reflected not just quality but a careful consideration of the client’s needs,” explains Amy. “We envisioned bridging the gap between creating beautiful homes and ensuring a seamless build process where clients felt valued, heard, and understood. The core values of Niche Design & Construction echo this sentiment, revolving around respect for the client, the team, and merchants alike.” Amy, a seasoned designer with a keen creative eye, complements Kawhata, a qualified Master Builder with over a decade of experience. Together, they form a dynamic duo capable of not only constructing high-quality homes but also guiding clients through the decision-making process, alleviating the pressure that often accompanies such endeavours. “What sets us apart is our commitment to delivering personalized, handcrafted, and high-quality architectural homes that go beyond the conventional,” says Amy. The company engages in designing, building, and bringing to market architecturally inspired houses meticulously crafted for their specific environments.
