Inspired by the work of Zaha Hadid and Daniel Liebeskind, Mt Isthmus Lodge, designed by Ground Up Studio, tests the boundaries of sculptural form.
Windows have been placed strategically to allow for views of the mountains and the lake.
The roof imitates the jagged form of the surrounding mountain ranges, taking inspiration from Zaha Hadid's Riverside Museum.
The roof's sculptural form ripples like icing on a cake.
The roof is clad in copper that will patina with age and exposure.
The bedrooms have been positioned for optimal views.
A pyramid fireplace is a focal point in the lounge, referencing the copper peaks on the roof.
The stunning mountain vistas can be enjoyed even while in the shower.
