First Light is named for what you see when you wake up here. It sits at the front of Kawarau Heights on one of the estate's largest and most privately positioned sites, oriented to catch the morning across the basin before the valley fully wakes. The flat roof profile keeps the residence settled in the landscape. The full-width glazing makes the mountains part of the room.
Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a powder room. The layout makes sense the moment you see it. Open-plan living, dining, and kitchen sit at one end of the residence, connecting directly to the outdoor terraces through full-width glazing. A sun nook sits off the kitchen, a quieter place to have a coffee when the main living areas are in use.
The primary suite sits privately at the other end, with its own ensuite and walk-in robe. Adjacent to it, a sunken media room sits below the main floor level, separate and enclosed, the kind of space that earns its place on a winter evening. A library occupies its own dedicated room between the bedroom wing and the main living zone. The three remaining bedrooms sit in the middle of the plan, each with their own bathroom.
