Working with the slope, orientation and dramatic 180-degree-plus views, the design methodology explored the shift and tilt of the rock strata, tilting and shifting materials and forms to create an abstraction.
Schist cladding on the lower level helps anchor the house to the site while cedar and aluminium cladding was used to explore the tilt and shift of the topography.
At ground level, stone walls anchor the building against prevailing winds and recognise the rock forms of the hillside.
Deep recesses speak to the thermal capacity of the home while the floating timber staircase adds a dramatic flair to the entry.
The raked ceiling, open-plan footprint and large, picture windows all work in concert to produce a space of capacious volume.
Indoor outdoor flow was an important consideration in maximising the amenity of the home, given the steep nature of the slope and limited outdoor areas outside of the building platform.
A small outdoor courtyard off the dining/living area provides a sheltered space for enjoying the outdoors.
A wrap-around screen element provides visual interest as well as mitigating solar gain without completely obstructing the view.
A room with a view: the main ensuite provides stunning views across Lake Wakatipu.
Each of the five bedroom suites has an en suite bathroom.
The rear terrace also features enviable views across the lake.
