A home in New Zealand where design plays with the lines of the landscape to create a building capable of establishing spatial and material continuity with its surroundings.
A building integrated into the landscape, from the design of the materials to the spaces. On the shore of New Zealand’s Lake Wanaka, Sarah Scott Architects have designed a home in which the axes generating the floors, starting from the outside, develop the spaces inside.
The building is like a natural point on the rocky spur behind it, which inspires the forms of its layout. The interior is divided into three areas: a main living space and two wings containing the bedrooms.
The coverings are also designed in continuity with the rocky spur: they break up the roof, and by limiting the building’s height, they ensure that it is less visible, providing the desired privacy.
