Wilderness House

By Novak + Middleton

Profile
Wilderness House banner

The Lake House is a self-confident contemporary house in an outstanding landscape that does not draw attention to itself. It is nestled into the beautiful native bush, hovering amongst the trees and between the rocks with water flowing around it.

Conceived as two separate pavilions. The houses have distinctive folded plate sculpted roofs that reflect the surrounding mountain landscape. The structure is glue laminated timber beams with stone, concrete block, plywood and a range of timbers. All expressed as natural materials and providing the finished aesthetic.

This is an exquisite house that is built with the precision of a fine piece of furniture. A timeless house that will provide family enjoyment for many years to come.

About the
Professional

Novak+Middleton is an NZIA award-winning architectural practice. We specialise in creating innovative and quality architecture, offering a comprehensive personalised service to our clients. The thirty year working relationship of the practice directors has grounded Novak+Middleton with extensive experience in all aspects of residential and commercial architecture, including large scale multi-unit housing, new homes, additions and alterations, and interior architectural design.

As an architectural practice we believe the strength of good design stems from a sensible and honest use of materials and space, combined together with a thorough understanding of a client's objectives. These can then be integrated in a contemporary manner that is appropriate to each individual client.

Our team has considerable experience, offering design and technical excellence. Our professional service covers all facets of the build, from the initial meeting through to completion of the project.

While our experience is essential, so too is our commitment to each individual client and their community. The ability to provide a quality service with an outstanding result is paramount in the philosophy of our architectural practice.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent.
