Powerful vertical chimneys and foundation walls clad in Otago Schist stonework help anchor the paired forms of these contemporary dwellings to their elevated site above the Wanaka Marina and Yacht Club.
Large expanses of glazing to the Northern and Western façades are inserted between the strongly horizontal floor and roof elements while careful planning ensures visual privacy between the two dwellings. Sheltered ‘All Weather’ outdoor rooms covered with operable louvre roofs and operable wind blinds ensure the owners are able to enjoy the fresh air and spectacular lake and mountain views year-round.
