Retreating to shadow is an important chapter in the clients' journey through Stravinskij. Following their consultation, the client is led to the hair spa. Passing through another Pounamu-toned curtain the atmosphere shifts from the bright cutting floor to another dimly lit space even darker than the retail and reception area. Soft lighting reveals glimpses of the dark textured walls and now familiar Bluestone pavers underfoot. A series of hair spa seats dressed in moss-toned leather and dark charcoal timber are the only illuminated objects in the space. The sound of the cutting floor and city beyond dissipates as the entry curtain closes. This cave-like space is the focal point for relaxation. A place where the sound of running water fills the space as hair is washed, heads are massaged, and facials applied. It is a welcome retreat from the city and one's busy life.

Wanaka House

This home presents a strong and permanent feature within the existing landscape. From a distance, its form is striking and self- assured. Heavy concrete walls embed themselves
in the gently sloping terrain, taking cues from the simple construction of early central Otago farming buildings. An elegant corrugated metal roof gives the building its form, penetrated by two solid vertical chimneys at one end.

Wanaka House

The changing seasons and weather patterns interplay with the breathtaking landscape beyond. The setting is varied and memorable, almost theatre like. In winter, it is a place of retreat and comfort from the cold - a place to rest with family and friends after a day of skiing. In summer, it is more like a resort. The outdoor patio and pool areas seamlessly connect to living and dining, providing a setting for fun and festivities.

Surrounded by mountain ranges, the rural setting is one of outstanding natural beauty. The changing seasons and weather patterns interplay with the breathtaking landscape beyond.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of presenting the concept design to our clients for their new home.

Located just outside of Wanaka surrounded by mountain ranges, the rural setting is one of outstanding natural beauty. Aesthetically, this home presents a strong and permanent feature within the existing landscape. Heavy concrete walls embed themselves in the gently sloping terrain, taking cues from the simple construction of early central Otago farming buildings. An elegant corrugated metal roof gives the building its form, penetrated by two solid vertical chimneys at one end.

A heavy timber door signals the entry. Once inside, a framed view of Mt Maude is revealed. The entry is a special moment, and creates a hinge between the public and private domains of the house. As one walks furthers inside, a new character of the home is revealed. Dark timber is used throughout the interior, alongside raw concrete, blasted stainless steel and high quality fabrics. All materials are natural and designed to improve with age. Generous internal volumes are created around the living and dining areas, orientated toward the sun and views. It is a home designed to be a permanent anchor to family life. A place to seek refuge and shelter. A place to enrich life.

Stravinskij Salon, Wellington, 2022

Timaru Bluestone pavers with tumbled edges and soft faces form the ground plane as well as a carefully choreographed series of plinths. In certain light, the texture of the Bluestone appears glossy, almost wet, and not unlike the caliginous face of a Fiordland Cave or weathered rock of Wellington's south coast. Rising perfectly from the field of pavers the Bluestone plinths are Stravinskij's foundational elements supporting crafted stainless steel mirror units and retail shelves. The introduction of stainless steel offers a counterpoint to the stone with its soft velvet finish. Like still water on a misty day parts of the stainless steel receives light and glistens while other faces retreat into deep shadow.
