Tai Tapu lakeside home alteration with oak, cedar and clay plaster interiors by AW Architects
About the project

A lakeside Tai Tapu home transformed for returning Cantabrians who needed more light and connection.

Bay windows were removed, ceilings opened to the roof pitch, and every room reworked around cedar, oak, clay plaster and bluestone. A steel portal frame unlocked the living room and a new skylight draws light into the kitchen. Gardens by the clients' daughter, landscape architect Julie Greenslade, extend to the lake edge.

Designed by AW Architects, Christchurch. Talk to us about a project.
