Discover Modern Living at Nugget Avenue Terraces
Nestled in the vibrant community of Hobsonville Point, Auckland, the Nugget Avenue Terraces offer contemporary, safe, and sustainable living. This terraced housing project was designed by Construkt Architects and expertly built by Universal Homes. The project highlights the cutting-edge KOROK Intertenancy Terraced Housing System, ensuring superior fire and acoustic performance for urban living.
Seamless Integration with Nature and Community
Nugget Avenue Terraces are designed to harmonize with the natural landscape of Buckley B Precinct. The homes showcase modern architectural elements, including bold colors and sustainable materials, making them a standout addition to the Hobsonville Point neighborhood. With a design that respects the land’s natural contours, these terraces offer not only aesthetic appeal but also an environmentally friendly solution.
Unmatched Safety with KOROK Intertenancy System
At the heart of this development is the innovative KOROK Intertenancy System, engineered for exceptional fire and acoustic protection. Traditional terraced housing systems often rely on internal linings for fire resistance, which can be compromised by penetrations. In contrast, KOROK’s system uses a robust steel and aerated concrete core, creating a highly durable barrier that significantly enhances fire protection between homes.
KOROK’s smart design ensures that in the event of a fire, its aluminum brackets melt on the fire-facing side, maintaining structural integrity on the opposite side. This safety feature gives residents peace of mind, knowing their homes are built with the highest safety standards in mind.
Why Choose KOROK for Terraced Housing?
Collaboration for Quality
The success of Nugget Avenue Terraces is a result of the seamless collaboration between Construkt Architects and Universal Homes. Together, they delivered a high-quality living space that not only meets aesthetic and functional needs but also prioritizes safety, durability, and acoustic comfort.
Superior Fire and Acoustic Protection
The KOROK 78mm panels used in this project provide both fire resistance and noise reduction, making them the ideal choice for urban terraced housing developments. Their innovative design contributes to faster installation times and long-term reliability, enhancing the overall living experience.
In terraced housing and town houses, conventional framed wall systems rely on the internal linings for fire-resistance. Penetrating these linings potentially destroys the fire-rated barrier.
