This three bedroom home allows affordable living in Wanaka. Compact, connected spaces are paired with simple cladding choices to reduce size and cost. Corrugated iron wraps the building with a recessed cedar feature adorning the public face of the building. The private living space, with feature plywood ceiling, faces north for sun and expansive mountain views. The resulting home has allowed a local artist to live and work in Wanaka while enjoying the surrounding mountains.
