Rippon Hall
Lake Wanaka
Rippon Hall is located at Rippon Vineyard
& Winery, Lake Wanaka. Rising above
the vineyard and looking out to the lake
and mountains, Rippon Hall is a hosting
venue for weddings and events, daily
wine tastings and sales. The material
palette of the Hall reflects the ‘terroir’ of
Rippon.
The walls and floors are crafted from
stabilised rammed earth using soil from
the site, hall trusses and lining have been
milled from larch trees on the property.
Other materials were chosen from either
a recycled source – rimu flooring for the
hall, or the material was carefully selected
for its durability and life cycle costs.
The building primary heating source is
from an ETA solid wood boiler which
heats the radiators. Fuel for the boiler is
sourced from specially grown timber on
110
site. The selection of colours was carefully
considered as any ‘introduced’ colour
needed to complement the already very
‘natural’ palette that was in place.
Colours were selected for their particular
use and place in the building: fire doors –
Resene Fire, cleaner’s cupboard - Resene
Bismark, laundry door – Resene Designer
White, handrails – Resene Dynamite and
the ceiling of the wine tasting room –
Resene House White. The unisex toilets
are colour coded with tones of green,
with one white cubicle - to promote
cubicle individuality, which is often
missing from commercial buildings.
The natural palette with highlights of
colour preserves the Hall’s true sensory
recognition of its own site, and a rare
depth in material clarity.
