Constructed with rich tones of corten steel and in-situ concrete, the Pouaka Waikura residence blends seamlessly into a landscape of bountiful complexities, nestled above the Shotover River.

Inside, pieces by Minotti, Gervasoni, Moooi & Linteloo furnish the interior living spaces.

Outside, Atelier Vierkant pots house herb gardens, a Roda dining setting overlooks the river, and Royal Botania's Alura lounge setting hugs the outdoor fire.

Flos's Casting exterior bollards line the perimeter of the courtyard gardens, illuminating the pathway to the central outdoor living.

Vincent Van Duysen's Infrastructure system for Flos, is suspended in the kitchen, dining, and living area as the main lighting source for the rooms. While iGuzzini's Laser Blades are used throughout the remainder of the home, slipping into the cedar-clad ceilings.
