Why this Wānaka holiday home took its inspiration from a DoC hut
With a young family, the brief for this Wānaka holiday home was simple: something that resembles a DoC hut.
AI summary
This Wānaka holiday home, designed by architect Rafe Maclean, draws inspiration from a classic DoC hut. Built on a challenging triangular site, the compact 65sqm dwelling creates a relaxed, open space for outdoor-loving owners.
The design features green corrugated cladding, exposed timber, and a bunkroom. Despite its small footprint, the well-insulated home comfortably accommodates large groups, offering a simple, pared-back holiday experience that cleverly future-proofs the site for a potential second dwelling.
