Lakeside Lodge

Situated high on the edge of Lake Rotoiti, this beautiful home stands proud with a dark corrugated façade overlooking the lake. Built in conjunction with another home on this same property, this home is a get-away place full of detail, homely features, high ceilings and understated luxury.

Builder: Calley Homes
Architect: Davista

Brass fittings were used throughout the entirety of the home to add warmth, and the brass creates a soft contrast to the hard surfaces of the tile and stone.
When designing, the environment is always important to consider—being at a higher altitude means temperatures are generally cooler than in the residents’ city home, so warm colours and textures were used inside to ensure the space feels cozy and welcoming, even in the depths of winter.

When designing this home, the client had a distinct aesthetic vision, and we made sure every element reflects that cohesive, modern-lodge vibe throughout.Feature entry wallpaper layers in the palette, weaving in colors that reappear throughout the home—instantly setting a tone of unity and warmth.V-groove panelling and ceiling beams extend across the space, drawing the eye upward, enhancing volume, and reinforcing the lodge-inspired character.At the heart of the living room sits a dramatic fireplace with custom textured plasterwork—an unmistakable focal point that radiates both style and comfort.

The dark-tone cabinetry marries beautifully with a mottled stone benchtop, echoing and celebrating the home’s lakeside setting.
The moody palette contrasts gently with the home's lighter accents, balancing drama with elegance.
