Residential Process

Situated above Lake Brunner in Moana, Grey District, this single-level bungalow has a modest but efficient layout that maximises southern views across the lake. 

Sustainability is central to the design of this new house, with solar panels, water tanks and energy-efficient systems seamlessly integrated.

A monochromatic exterior palette paired with timber finishes inside reinforces the home’s simplicity and creates a strong connection to its West Coast setting.

The client is an active participant in this build, contributing specialist knowledge that makes this project a great collaboration.
