Ao Marama Retreat
“This truly rustic retreat invokes the collective Kiwi memory of remote huts and simple comfort. The quintessential hut is reinvented by the architect via an elegantly articulated vernacular form and structure. Warmth, humour and comfort are intertwined with robust solutions to the challenges of living in an exposed and remote environment. There is no ‘rustic modern’ veneer, and unique solutions providing comfort and amenity are worked into the small footprint.”
