Winner of the 2009 ADNZ Regional Design Award for Commercial/Industrial Building.
“Built with sustainability in mind, the units feature locally sourced materials such as macrocarpa wood.”
Fourteen 35sqm luxury studio chalets were designed to capitalize on the breathtaking views of the Fiordland World heritage location, whilst offering guests a comfortable stay. Due to the difficulty of building in a World Heritage site, the units were built in Invercargill and transported by truck through the Homer Tunnel. Architectural details including high insulation levels and optimum window positions ensure that the chalets work optimally in their environment.

Sorted Architecture is an award-winning architectural design practice based in Wānaka. Our work spans commercial, residential and renovation projects for clients around New Zealand.
Established in 1993, Sorted Architecture has been a fixture in the architectural landscape of the Southern Lakes for more than 30 years. A member of the Architectural Designers of New Zealand (ADNZ), our practice has won multiple regional and national awards, and our work has featured in many of New Zealand’s leading architectural publications.
Based in Wānaka, Central Otago, our practice has three decades of experience designing buildings for extreme environments. Initially designing homes in our hometown of Wānaka, our projects now span from the mountains to the coasts. Each design integrates innovation, sophistication and efficiency as a way to harmonise buildings with the natural environment.
Innovation and sophistication without extravagance
Our design ethos merges style, practicality and innovation to create buildings that reflect the individuality of owners and the natural landscape in which they sit. Guided by many years of experience working with the challenges and opportunities of extreme environments, we have created buildings to sit amongst mountains, lakes and beaches.
These impressive landscapes have inspired us to think beyond the ordinary to create homes of efficiency and comfort without forgoing design impact.
