Taupo holiday house

Architecture Page Henderson

The house plan is arranged in four parts, with fin walls clad in macrocarpa weatherboards defining the separations.

The exterior cladding runs continuously through the interior, enhancing the relationship between the outdoor living spaces to the north and lake views to the south. The macrocarpa weatherboards were sourced and milled on the client’s farm. The staggered house plan and large overhangs, combined with the timber cladding, make this home sit comfortably on its site.
