A client relocating from Auckland to embrace Arrowtown, the views of Coronet Peak and the winter lifestyle. Our response had three layers: resolving the mechanics of the interior, easing the stylistic clashes, and addressing material tension. We approached it as a regeneration, not just a renovation, an exercise to heal the home so to heal the body. Each space was designed as a progressive exercise - calming, sensorial, and rooted in place. The layered strategy resulted in blurred boundaries between old and new, function and feeling, function and intuition.
