STUDIO COTTAGE

The Studio Cottage was an original farm feed shed from the centre of Wanaka, nestled behind modern new builds it had to be fully dismantled and rebuilt here in Bannockburn in the Old Plum Orchard of the same era. Rebuilt using reclaimed materials and slightly remodelled for aesthetic improvement. Even the old original floor joists were retained and reused as the pergola. This is very much my passion project, constructed during weekends, an on going project hoping to be complete by the end of 2024
