Taking all the details of your home into the plans.

It starts with the plan, the function, and the layout. Niche Design Co. takes a holistic approach to the space, making sure it has great architecture as its foundation. The functionality of space within your home is as important as the connections created within. If possible, get Niche Design Co involved early in the process. When we work alongside you and the architect, we can focus on all the details of the home and ensure the design exactly fits your needs.

Collaborating with the best in the industry.

We have fantastic relationships with local architects, interior designers and manufacturers and we’re affiliated with some of the best cabinet makers and installers in the Bay of Plenty. We will only recommend the best fit for you, and you can comfortably let us coordinate the entire project. If you have already established a relationship, you’ll have the flexibility to take our design to a manufacturer of your choice
