AI summary
A Wānaka holiday home designed by architect Rafe Maclean takes its inspiration from a classic DoC hut. Built for a Wellington family on a challenging triangular site, the compact 65sqm dwelling cleverly maximises its small footprint.
The design features green corrugated cladding, exposed timber, and a bunkroom to evoke a rustic, outdoor feel. Despite its size, the highly efficient and well-insulated home feels spacious, comfortably hosting large groups and promoting a connection to nature and a simpler lifestyle.
