Perched above Lake Manapouri, Cabot Villa is a piece of luxury accommodation designed to engage directly with its extraordinary Fiordland setting. Drawing from the geometry of the wider Cabot Lodge, the plan adopts a subtle faceted form, allowing multiple spaces to open toward different aspects of the landscape. A central living area anchors the home, with two private suites positioned at either end to create separation and retreat. Floor-to-ceiling glazing frames expansive views, while a restrained palette of cedar cladding and natural finishes grounds the architecture within its rural context. Compact in scale yet expansive in experience, the Villa balances openness with shelter, offering a refined and immersive connection to place.
