Set at the top of the world under a wide, sheltering sky, this completely off-grid accommodation has been constructed in the form of a traditional musterer's hut. Attention to design detail, use of a recessive colour palette and low reflectivity of materials enables this small build to sit unobtrusively amid its surroundings. Precise design decisions and fine workmanship - chamfered edges, mitred corners, a chimney that emulates the corrugated iron settler hut, a composting long-drop toilet - make this project a fitting companion to its landscape and a respectful ancestor of its New Zealand high-country heritage.
