Luxury, High-Performance Mixed-Use Building

Situated in central Wānaka, this high-performance mixed-use building offers both commercial space and visitor accommodation. The design respects traditional alpine aesthetics while adding comfort, flexibility, and energy efficiency for modern users. High-performance windows, insulation, and a ventilation system ensure year-round comfort, while thoughtful details like ski boot rooms, bike storage, and adaptable apartment layouts support the active lifestyles of visitors. Shared kitchens and the ability to combine or separate units make the apartments versatile for families, groups, or solo travellers.

With social spaces like an outdoor café, fire pit, and hot tub, the development offers both comfort and community — balancing alpine character with modern performance and flexibility.
