Jones House Wanaka 2014

A schist-clad central south-facing courtyard joins the main section of the house to the two wings containing the bedrooms and service areas. The design called for a nested volume with a low pitched roof to fit quietly in the surrounding kanuka vegetation in order to satisfy planning restrictions in terms of visibility from the lake edge.  The house features western red cedar black stained cladding, polished salt and pepper concrete floors, with black joinery and roofing to match.
