Te Kaitaka nestles in its dramatic landscape, with views of the Southern Alps and Lake Wanaka. The New Zealand house is around half an hour outside Wanaka, sits above the lake, is beneath a main flight path and is an origami-style structure which took about three years to build. The house was built in 2010 with timber which wraps around the whole house, so tonally it looks like tussock. Lawson said he was delighted with the BBC programme on the Wanaka house. The same BBC series featured a Piha house designed by husband and wife team Lance and Nicola Herbst at Herbst Architects.
