“Combining modernity and tradition, the new airport captures the heritage and unique charm of Southland.”
Inspired by the aviation history of deer recovery in the region, the airport’s rugged sheddy aesthetics ensure it blends into its surroundings whilst giving passengers a sense of the area’s heritage. Created as a collection of inter-linked autonomous spaces, the new terminal has capacity to host three operators with expected footfall of up to 150 passengers at a time. Built to be as environmental friendly as possible, it boasts a wealth of energy efficient features.

Sorted Architecture is an award-winning architectural design practice based in Wānaka. Our work spans commercial, residential and renovation projects for clients around New Zealand.
Established in 1993, Sorted Architecture has been a fixture in the architectural landscape of the Southern Lakes for more than 30 years. A member of the Architectural Designers of New Zealand (ADNZ), our practice has won multiple regional and national awards, and our work has featured in many of New Zealand’s leading architectural publications.
Based in Wānaka, Central Otago, our practice has three decades of experience designing buildings for extreme environments. Initially designing homes in our hometown of Wānaka, our projects now span from the mountains to the coasts. Each design integrates innovation, sophistication and efficiency as a way to harmonise buildings with the natural environment.
Innovation and sophistication without extravagance
Our design ethos merges style, practicality and innovation to create buildings that reflect the individuality of owners and the natural landscape in which they sit. Guided by many years of experience working with the challenges and opportunities of extreme environments, we have created buildings to sit amongst mountains, lakes and beaches.
These impressive landscapes have inspired us to think beyond the ordinary to create homes of efficiency and comfort without forgoing design impact.
