With unrivalled views of Lake Whakatipu and the iconic Remarkables mountain range, the interior architectural response for this penthouse is subtle, allowing the view to be the focal point. A long horizontal island bench anchors the space and is contrasted by the verticality of full height custom fireplace and oversized sliding panels concealing ample storage and laundry.

The language in the living zones balances light and dark, juxtaposing hand finished dark steelwork around the custom fireplace with light timber joinery and furniture, and white painted blade walls to separate the zones. The light palette continues into the bathrooms, with natural textures and tones complimented by Boffi fixtures and fittings.
