Introducing the stunning Natural Stone Home Wanaka, a project designed by Andy Todd with stone supplied by the team at Wanaka Stone. Situated on a picturesque elevated location overlooking Lake Wanaka, this contemporary home combines traditional stonework with modern design elements.
Principal stonemason Robin Dalton of Southern Stonemasons and his team meticulously selected and placed the Cluden and Poolburn Natural Stone, paying homage to the early settlors' style of stonework in the region.
The wide stone footing allowed for the incorporation of taller and longer feature pieces, adding a structural elegance to the overall design. The blend of textures and colours reflects the heritage of the region, creating a beautifully clad home that seamlessly merges with its surroundings.
Wanaka Stone Ltd has been supplying high quality schist products since 2014, now supplying rock from two iconic Central Otago quarries. Both Poolburn and Cluden Stone Quarries have stood the test of time, having been operational for over 30 years each. Both quarries produce reliable, consistent stone and will still be operating for many decades to come.
Wanaka Stone Ltd provides schist stone from the Cluden Stone Quarry near Tarras and Poolburn Stone Quarry located in the Ida Valley, the heart of Central Otago. Cluden Stone is known for its earthy blue-grey and golden brown tones while Poolburn Stone is quintessential Central Otago schist with steely greys and plenty of brown, bronze and russet tones. Stone has been used for decades as a permanent cladding and to create beautiful features in homes and commercial buildings. It is low maintenance, timeless and distinctive.
Wanaka Stone Ltd provides a professional service that operates fully licenced and permitted operations ensuring a consistent and reliable supply. Using cutting edge technology – imported guillotines with 24 cutting teeth – we are able to deliver top-quality schist and value for money.
Locally Sourced – Eco-Friendly
Schist is a naturally formed building material with limited mechanical inputs, resulting in minimal carbon footprint. Massive quantities of rock are constantly forming and reforming in nature. The quantities extracted by us are negligible when compared to natural erosion rates.
