A 140m² industrial-style home in Wanaka, designed in collaboration with a certified passive house designer, ensuring optimal comfort and energy efficiency while offering stunning views of Lake Wanaka.

Situated in The Heights subdivision of Wanaka, this 140m² home was designed in collaboration with the client who is a certified passive house designer. This collaboration was integral to the success of this building. Heating and cooling demands were interrogated at every junction throughout the entire home along with shading, size of apertures and the building form.

The final result is an architectural home that sits proudly on its site keeping the occupants at a constant comfort level while they look at views over Lake Wanaka.

Professional Reviews

1 / 5

“At last there is an Architect that can bring design inspiration and work within a set budget. I had grand ideas that were way beyond my desired budget, Virginia came up with alternatives that met my ultimate needs and understood the practicalities of the build and costs. A pleasure to work with and I will use Virginia again.”
