"The Karangahake House, designed by MAKE Architects NZ LTD, is a 100-square-meter prefabricated family home in the North Island of New Zealand, completed in 2019. The house is situated on a hilltop overlooking the Karangahake forests, the Kaimai Ranges, and the Waitawheta River valley. The design draws inspiration from traditional New Zealand tramping huts and focuses on sustainable, simple living and a connection with nature. The elongated, barn-like structure with a gable roof is designed to blend into the rural landscape. The home was built using efficient construction methods, with prefabricated floors, walls, and roofs assembled on-site in just four days. Its compact design includes a double-height living and kitchen area, a mezzanine level above two bedrooms and a bathroom, and a separate guest bedroom/office wing. An ""Outdoor Room,"" connects the main house to the guest wing and provides a flexible, sheltered space, with a section of polycarbonate roof filtering light and creating a lantern effect at night. The exterior is clad in locally sourced timber, which will age to a natural gray over time, while the interior features warm cross-laminated timber floors and plywood walls and ceilings. The Karangahake House incorporates carefully selected materials and finishes, weathertight linings, and efficient ventilation systems to promote sustainability and minimize environmental impact.
