The front elevation provides a textural and warm face to the street.
A steel fascia detail runs right around the perimeter of the house, giving the forms a graphic edge.
The jaw-dropping view from the living spaces takes in Lake Wanaka and the mountain ranges beyond.
The schist outdoor chimneys can be seen from the interior, and integrate nicely with the cedar ceiling lining.
A central gallery wall leading from the entryway to the living space is finished in a textured wallpaper that is reminiscent of concrete.
The courtyard in the front of the house offers a sheltered space for entertaining outdoors.
The courtyard at the back of the living spaces features moveable cedar screens that filter light into the cosy space.
The clients have created a fernery at the end of the back courtyard.
The transition from indoors to outdoors is seamless, and the materiality of cedar creates continuation.
Stone retaining walls integrate the home into the landscape.
Clerestory windows allow light into the guest wing, without compromising privacy from the street.
A guest bedroom takes in the light and views at the front of the home.
The central pavilion sits slightly higher than the master on the left and the guest wing on the right, allowing the light to travel right through the living spaces, to the courtyard at the back.
