Set within the dramatic alpine landscape of Castle Hill, the Pukeraki Mountain Retreat is a holiday home designed for connection, escape and outdoor living. Created for a family of outdoor enthusiasts, the home responds directly to its environment—framing expansive views while providing shelter and warmth in a rugged setting.

The architectural design balances durability with refinement, using natural materials and carefully considered forms that sit comfortably within the landscape. Generous openings connect interior spaces to the outdoors, supporting a lifestyle shaped by movement, adventure and seasonal change.

Designed as a modern Canterbury holiday home, the retreat offers flexibility for family gatherings while maintaining a sense of calm and retreat. It is a place to return to—where architecture supports both active days and quiet moments, grounded in its alpine surroundings.
