From the outside in, this rustic mountain house architecture designed by Fearon Hay Architects makes use of natural materials to complement its spectacular earthy environment. Located between the high peaks overlooking Lake Wakatipu in New Zealand, the floor-to-ceiling windows of this cozy mountain retreat frame these breathtaking vistas, while a rooftop terrace offers a first-hand experience of nature. The building’s facade features a large stone stacked into a simple cube shape. Inside, the sliding glass-enclosed rooms are at one with nature, echoing the environment with raw, rustic materials like wood, stone and concrete. Despite this charming house’s organic appearance, modern comforts are at your fingertips with heated floors, mountain-spring water, natural gas and electricity. Fearon Hay Architects
