The design process included 18 months of planning, designing and projecting ideas with use of visual content such as 3D renders and interactive models. The main adjustment within the design process was to increase the size of bedrooms and living areas. The home originally started as a 480m2 concept that turned into a 780m2 home which proved to be a great alteration. All bedrooms and the main living areas have been positioned north east to ensure a view over Lake Rotorua with the first floor taking in a picturesque sunrise.
