Lismore House

The Lismore Street House is a contemporary home defined by refined materials, clear form, and seamless indoor–outdoor living. It balances everyday functionality with architectural simplicity.

Cedar and schist cladding create a grounded exterior, while inside, spaces flow from kitchen and dining through to lounge, office, and upper levels. A sheltered courtyard and Purpleheart hardwood deck extend living outdoors, with an integrated cooking and fire area for year-round use.

A lift and staircase provide easy movement through the home, while framed openings capture expansive views to Lake Wānaka and the surrounding alpine landscape, keeping a strong connection to place.
