Designing Tranquility: A Custom Home for Lydia and Michael in Te Anau

At Minimal Design New Zealand, we are passionate about delivering architectural solutions that reflect the unique lifestyle and environment of every project. Our latest endeavor brings us to the picturesque town of Te Anau, known for its stunning lake and proximity to Fiordland National Park. Working with Lydia and Michael, we’ve embarked on creating a home that captures their vision while embracing the natural beauty surrounding it.

Adapting to Challenges with Smart Design

The first version of the house design turned out to be more expansive than anticipated. In response, Lydia and Michael asked us to optimize and downsize the layout. Leveraging our innovative BIM technology and high-end visualization tools, we guided the project through this redesign phase with precision. These tools provided our clients with incredibly realistic visuals and animations, enabling them to explore their future home from every angle.

Seamless Adaptations with Advanced Technology

One of the greatest advantages of our software lies in its flexibility. Once the initial project settings were in place, we could easily generate updated visuals for every adjustment—even the smallest design changes. This approach ensured that Lydia and Michael were fully engaged in the process, helping them visualize their evolving home at every step and make confident decisions.

Achieving Client and Authority Satisfaction

The combination of smart downsizing and realistic visualization resulted in a satisfying outcome for both the clients and the local authorities. Our process ensured that Lydia and Michael’s vision was maintained within budget while adhering to Te Anau’s planning requirements. The project is now progressing smoothly, showcasing how careful design and modern technology can harmonize to bring dream homes to life.

This project embodies our commitment to minimalist, elegant architecture that reflects both the clients' desires and the spirit of the landscape. At Minimal Design New Zealand, we pride ourselves on delivering innovative solutions that align with our clients’ needs and the natural environment.

About the
Professional

Minimal design does not mean basic, barren or small, but a thoughtful simplification of the architectural design, building consent, construction and maintenance process to minimise expense and maximise the efficient use of our resources.

We believe that every corner and curve should have a purpose and the best type of energy is harnessed from your home's natural surroundings. From new homes and renovations, through to commercial hubs, our ethos is applied to every project through thoughtful planning, logical solutions, quality materials and a constant consideration for the environment.

Combined with international experience and a world of inspiration, we help our clients in Wanaka, Queenstown and beyond build for the future. Whether you’re designing a tiny house, family home, accommodation or commercial building, think minimal.
