Inspired by the iconic Doc huts, this building is defined by its pragmatic program - to provide shelter for a small family and a base for adventures. The main living area offers the essentials: cooking, eating and seating spaces and a fireplace. A breezeway dissects the plan, separating the main living area from the bunk room. It also provides living potential, protected from the elements. The colour references the many emblematic New Zealand mountain huts, reinforcing its presence in the landscape and nodding to the local vernacular.

Completed in 2021.
