Valley Crescent House, Wanaka

Category
Residential
Spreading lengthwise across the site, the house has been oriented to capture as many lake and mountain vistas as possible.
Comprising a trio of pavilions, the design locates living spaces under a central gable and private spaces in the outer wings.
The material palette helps to merge the home with its landscape, with schist playing a big part both in the external cladding and in the interiors, where it is used for accent walls.
Setback, lower-profile linking elements between the gabled sections also create sheltered outdoor courtyards that provide for outdoor living in any weather.
The house sits on an elevated site with views towards Black Peak, Treble Cone and Lake Wanaka.
The lofty roof form of the central pavilion accentuates the mountain views and gives a sense of volume to this open-plan living area.
Much as the exterior form is reflected in the high volume interior spaces, so too is the external palette carried into the interior, with stonework and cedar featuring in the main living room.
The owners requested something understated, so the material and colour palettes have been kept fairly minimal with materials doing double duty both outdoors and in.
Corten steel accents can be found in and around the home, lending a sense of patinaed character to the design.
Floor-to-ceiling glazing allows for the view to be front and centre in this bedroom suite.
Following the clients' brief for understated spaces, this en suite bathroom combines neutral tones to create a soft and simple aesthetic.
