Alpine Retreat - Wanaka
By Johnston Architects
"This new weekend retreat and summer family home sits on the edge of a plateauoverlooking the Clutha River. The U-shaped plan makes excellent use of the confined site. Arranged as two contemporary timber pavilions around a large courtyard area and linkedbya service spine, the plan cleverly separates public, private and service activities. Meticulously detailed timberwork seamlessly integrate structure and glazing and contributeto an overall clarity of structure. The design and planning simplified the building process forease of construction and efficient building programme."
