Lake Taupo House

Set on an elevated site overlooking Lake Taupo, these beautiful retreats were conceived as both a private home and a refined lakeside lodge. The project comprises a 900sqm architecturally designed main residence and four guest pavilions, together forming a series of luxury sanctuaries designed for rest and retreat.​ ​Created for our Hong Kong–based clients to enjoy when in New Zealand, the main house includes six bedrooms, expansive living spaces, a meditation and prayer room, a contemplative zen garden, an infinity pool, and an authentic hinoki onsen bath, elements that reinforce a sense of restoration and wellbeing. The four guest pavilions each feature a deluxe bedroom and bathroom, generous living and dining area, kitchen, and sheltered outdoor living spaces, offering privacy and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape, with the same sense of calm and tranquility as the main residence.​ Trinity’s scope encompassed the full interior hard-fit selections, cabinetry design, and complete furnishing of both the residence and pavilions, providing a fully turnkey service. Developed remotely during the pandemic, the project required precise documentation, clear communication, and a deeply collaborative approach. Supported by proven processes and underpinned by our clients’ trust, it was delivered with confidence and clarity despite the distance.​ ​Contemporary in expression yet deeply grounded in the idea of sanctuary, these enduring lakeside retreats carefully balance a blend of luxury and tranquility, designed to restore, reconnect, and endure.
