SNO Ruapehu is a modern hut-type accommodation based in Horopito, at the base of Mt. Ruapehu. The 60sqm design makes the most of unobstructed views of the mountain with large openings. The simple form and materiality is informed by the iconic huts characteristic of the region, sitting respectfully in the idyllic rural context.
