Picture postcard David Reid Homes show home

Different regions can have a distinctive architectural vernacular that sets them apart a style that has evolved over many years. But if you want to make a strong design statement, sometimes it pays to break away from tradition.

This new home, by David Reid Homes Wanaka and Central Otago, is a far cry from the typical schist and cedar gabled homes in the area. Comprising three linked box-like volumes, the house has a strong contemporary look that sits comfortably within the grandeur of the expansive lake and mountain scenery.

The house has a sense of symmetry the double-storey central volume is flanked by two similarly sized pavilions. One of these accommodates the open-plan living area, dining room and kitchen, while the other encloses the garage, a bedroom and bathroom. The central volume boasts another bedroom and media room on the ground level, and a large master suite on the top floor. Windows are positioned to maximise the sun from the north and the spectacular views.

Ground-floor rooms have an easy indoor-outdoor flow, ensuring the house is well suited to year-round entertaining.

David Reid Homes specialises in design-and-build projects, and works closely with clients to ensure their home meets their exact requirements and is finished to an especially high standard.
