HUNTER HOUSE
Unbuilt Concept
Located in central Otago, Wanaka, New Zealand, this home characterizes contemporary Greek inspired finishes with a Central Otago language. Local dry-stack schist walls resemble the material used for historical mining huts in the area built by the early Chinese settlers during the gold rush period. These sit underneath white rendered parapets above, contrasting between simplicity and earthy texture.
The rock walls provide privacy to several courtyard spaces off the bedrooms including the main ensuite. This approach connects in interior with the outdoors.
The spaces are designed to capture views to Wanaka’s Mountain Ranges including Mt Roy and other lake peaks.
