Glendhu House
Glendhu Bay, Lake Wānaka
A lakeside section that had been waiting for a house since the seventies. The brief was a single word: quiet.
The house sits below the road on a schist bench so that from the water it reads as a stone wall with a roof, and from the road it does not read at all.
