ProjectNawton Village

Nawton Village is a social housing development in Kirikiriroa Hamilton designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for people with cognitive difficulties.

The new homes have been designed to meet the needs of elderly tenants and young families and are low-maintenance, replicable, and well-insulated. The units add to their existing community housing on the site, with 21 social housing units built over two stages, along with a 251sqm community centre, basketball court, and parking facilities.

To make the homes more cost-effective and efficient to build, the Salvation Army Social Housing division standardised the design of the housing units to facilitate easy fabrication and replication on other sites across the country with minor adjustments.

TSA Riley worked with the design team to develop innovative solutions with the best outcome in terms of cost and buildability. Construction efficiencies have been further achieved using Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs), enabling off-site fabrication and quick on-site installation upon delivery. Adopting this approach has ensured a streamlined construction process and timely project completion.
