Perched above Lake Wakatipu with panoramic views of the Remarkables, this Figure and Ground-designed home offered a dramatic setting for photography.

Shot across both daylight and twilight, the aim was to capture the home’s refined material palette, alpine outlook, and relaxed flow between interior and exterior spaces. Natural stonework, rich timbers, and expansive glazing create a strong connection to the landscape, while soft evening light added warmth and atmosphere.

Highlights included the outdoor fireplace, generous balconies, and living areas designed to take in the view from every angle. The final images balance architectural clarity with a sense of lifestyle - supporting the home's marketing while showcasing its design in the best light.
