Award-winning architectural living
A striking 190sqm (approx), three-bedroom home where bold architecture, exceptional craftsmanship and the Wānaka landscape come together. Designed by Ahha Architects and built by Buildcraft, 8 Hawkdun Place was recognised with a Regional Gold Award in the 2024 House of the Year competition. From its sculptural timber gable to its beautifully considered interiors, this is a home designed to be experienced. Natural materials define the architecture. Spotted gum timber, polished concrete, plaster and glass create a warm, refined palette that feels both contemporary and timeless. The dramatic timber gable gives the exterior its distinctive presence, while carefully framed windows draw the surrounding mountains into the living spaces. Inside, the main living area is the heart of the home, with raked ceilings, floor-to-ceiling timber louvres, polished concrete floors and a feature fireplace. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is equally impressive, centred around a sculptural timber-clad island and opening directly onto a sheltered outdoor living space. The covered deck is a true extension of the home, with an outdoor fireplace creating an inviting setting for long lunches, evening drinks and entertaining year-round. The three-bedroom layout is thoughtfully resolved, with the generous main suite offering a walk-in wardrobe and beautifully appointed ensuite. The family bathroom features a freestanding bath and quality fixtures throughout. Year-round comfort comes courtesy of hydronic under-floor heating and concealed ducted cooling, integrated seamlessly into the architecture. The home features a 10kW solar system with 24 premium JA Solar panels and a 13.5kWh Tesla Powerwall 3 Battery. The system delivers greater energy independence, lower grid reliance and whole-home backup power during outages, making this an exceptional combination of sustainability, efficiency and future-focused technology.

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.

What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
