A Contemporary Family Retreat in Wānaka

This four-bedroom holiday home is designed to maximise extensive views while providing shelter from wind and road noise. The layout ensures high levels of privacy, excellent thermal performance and incorporates sustainable initiatives.

Clean lines and a contemporary form create a relaxed holiday atmosphere, while an adaptable floor plan allows the house to expand or contract for different group sizes. A strong connection between the kitchen and living spaces reflects the owners’ love of cooking and entertaining. The result is a home that blends seamlessly into the Wānaka environment while making a distinctive architectural statement.

Client Testimonial

“Chris and the team at Chaney & Norman have delivered us our dream family holiday home. Chris worked very collaboratively with us to realise our vision for a house that responded to both the functional needs of our family but also maximised the incredible Wanaka landscape around us. He is very well researched, keen to innovate and takes huge pride in his product. Would highly recommend Chris and the team.”
