Nestled into a two-acre lot in the ‘Hidden Hills’ development of Wanaka, this home was designed to maximise the views over the hills towards Lake Wanaka while affording its owners a high level of privacy and comfort. “The owner is a winemaker and we had originally discussed a concept where the house would be buried into the site, much like you would do for a cellar, however, after looking at other options, we decided that following passivhaus design principles would provide the high level of sustainability and environmental performance important to my client; while following the natural contours of the site would satisfy the requirements for privacy,” says Architectural Designer Andrew Simpson.
