Why this Wānaka holiday home took its inspiration from a DoC hut
With a young family, the brief for this Wānaka holiday home was simple: something that resembles a DoC hut.
AI summary
A Wānaka holiday home, named Te Kea, takes its design inspiration from a classic DoC hut. Architect Rafe Maclean cleverly designed the compact 65sqm dwelling for a tricky, triangular site, future-proofing it for a potential second build.
The home features green corrugated cladding, exposed timber, and a bunkroom, creating a relaxed, functional space. Despite its small size, the highly insulated and efficient design feels spacious, easily accommodating family and friends while promoting a simple, outdoor-focused lifestyle.
