8 Lafranchi Lane, Cardrona

The Chalet is designed with a nod to the nineteenth century Central Otago buildings, with reference to traditional farm buildings. Materials emphasise local, rugged character: corrugated profile galvanised steel cladding and timber are used as primary exterior finishes, paired with contemporary aluminium joinery. Detailing is refined and contemporary, but durable and low maintenance for high-country conditions. Large areas of glazing to the north facade provide natural light deep into the home. Internally the main living, kitchen and dining areas are open-plan and oriented to capture north-facing views. Bedrooms and service spaces located to the south of the building. This layout aims to balance generous social space with cosy, sheltered sleeping wings. Offered as a complete Land, Build and Landscape package, the Chalet design lends itself to the perfect ski holiday home, rental property or both.
