High above the Akaroa Harbour, this home responds directly to the volcanic ridges of Banks Peninsula. Its distinctive angular roofline echoes the surrounding formations, while cedar cladding, exposed corten steel and textured decking root it in its setting. Laser-cut corten screens provide both shading and visual impact. Inside, the client’s eclectic art collection animates the spaces, creating a dialogue between crafted interiors and the dramatic landscape. The result is a sculptural retreat that feels at once personal and deeply grounded in place.
