Set within the alpine landscape of Wānaka, this home is a refined response to its dramatic natural setting. At its heart, the kitchen was designed as a welcoming, functional space for gathering, with a sculptural island, integrated dining, and minimalist detailing that draws the eye outward to the lake and mountains. A warm, restrained palette of natural materials reinforces a sense of calm and cohesion. Beyond the kitchen, moody bathroom spaces offer immersive, restorative retreats—layered with dark finishes, rich metals, and tactile detail. The design throughout balances strength and softness, grounding the home in both function and spirit of place.
