This guest house is located in an ecological and environmentally sustainable subdivision on an unpopulated edge of Lake Wanaka. The house is carefully nestled into a site on the edge of a hillside and within highly protected native vegetation and is on the same site as the ‘Emerald House’
The house was to be low impact on the surrounding landscape, use materials that are generally locally sourced, and to tie in architecturally with the aesthetic of the existing house.
Linked to the house via a path the deck makes the most of the spectacular views over the Wanaka basin
