The award citation said “Thanks to the architect’s ability to manipulate scale and mass to disguise size, this large house responds to its surroundings in a confident yet recessive manner.”

“Successfully sited, the house balances living spaces that open to breathtaking vistas of Lake Wakatipu with private, inward-focused space that have been pushed back into the site.

“Throughout, the material choices are entirely appropriate to the robust design.”

According to the designers, Mason & Wales Architects, the residence was created as a homage to Blanket Bay Lodge, and resulted from a collaborative approach with the project manager, builder and project team.

Mr Muir said the “most satisfying aspect of the home is the way that everything seems to come together to create an integrated and authentic property, extending from landscape, to the external envelope into the interior spaces, and continuing into the furniture, fitout and equipment”.

“This home is more than meets the eye. There is exceptional quality throughout all levels of construction from foundations to finishes.”
