The exterior materiality borrows from the tones and textures of the surrounding environment.
Glazed sections of the structure connect the pavilions and offer refuge along the way.
To one side of the home is a picturesque view of Lake Wakatipu.
Wyuna House takes inspiration from Richard Neutra’s Palm Spring villas, paired with Central Otago’s rustic materiality.
 The beams are a continuous architectural element from inside to out.
The fireplace is clad in schist stone, following in from the exterior.
The main living area is centred in the floorplan.
A drinks area in the open-plan living space is perfect for entertaining, and can be hidden away when not in use.
Part of the master suite, a sauna overlooks Mount Alfred and Glenorchy.
The main bedroom is an oasis with its own fireplace.
A restrained palette of white walls and natural materiality detailed in a rustic style makes the home feel like it’s part of the Central Otago aesthetic.

About the
Professional

We create modern architecture that seeks to excite, lift the spirits, and create a sense of place. +MAP is a design-led studio, formed in Christchurch in 2001. The practice is a partnership between Huia Reriti and Simon Elvidge, and operates with an average of 15 to 20 staff.

We enjoy the continuity of involvement from Kerry Mason, founding partner of +MAP. We work on a broad range of projects across varied typologies, scale, and diverse locations.

The Team

Huia and Simon are supported by a core team of architectural talent consisting of Registered Architects, Graduate Architects and Architectural Technicians. The practice has grown year on year and enjoys a diverse portfolio of work; currently with 17 design staff allowing the necessary resources to continue to perform and engage with new projects.

Philosophy

We strive for creative, innovative, appropriate Architecture. We believe buildings have the ability to evoke imagery beyond the functional requirements and speak of the people, place and time that they engage with. A juxtaposition of intuitive and analytical design approaches informs a response that is regionally focused, contextual and functional.

Sustainability

We seek for each project to become a positive legacy for the owner, and for current and future generations. Sustainability and energy efficiency are core values of +MAP Architects. We take an integrated design approach, with a high level of collaboration between the client and consultant team, to ensure each project is sympathetic to environmental and programmatic requirements. The future flexibility and adaptability of each project is carefully considered.

Innovation

We approach each project as an individual challenge, with unique opportunities and constraints. A high level of collaboration with the client and consultant team informs an innovative and unique response. We consider these issues to be more important than working in a particular style and hope that each project will be an original interpretation of the client, site, brief and budget.

Collectively the Principals bring an impressive blend of design focus and detail experience to each project regardless of size and stature.
