Wanaka Residence Four

This Wanaka house is a holiday residence for the owners who are based in Dunedin. Clad in local stone with strong simple lines, the house sits on a ridge overlooking Lake Wanaka and the surrounding mountains. The house is designed as a stone box articulated with recesses on the northwest elevation, and black metal projections around windows on other elevations. The garage cladding is black standing seam long-run metal and cedar has been used for reveals. The four-bedroom house incorporates an open plan living dining kitchen area with an indoor- outdoor room which can be opened up to the view. The exterior doors slide into the wall and a skylight adds to the feeling of being outside. This room provides shelter from any wind. The interior also showcases the schist work along with a combination of materials including blackened steel and American Oak. A courtyard defined by a stone wall on the north end of the residence provides the main outdoor living. Landscaping is simple and allows for the house to sit comfortably in the environment.
