Romantic Cabin For Two architecture competition - 7 days to registration deadline!

Earth Energies Sanctuary in New Zealand is a wellness retreat designed to bring about balance of body, mind and soul, set within 200 acres of stunning natural landscape, ideal for seclusion, relaxation and experiencing nature. The sanctuary features a secluded, private, 2-bedroom cabin where guests can enjoy spectacular, awe-inspiring 360-degree views. 

During their stay, guests can be assured of total privacy and seclusion, as the nearest residence is more than 800 meters away from the cabin. Earth Energies offers self-catered or chef-prepared meals, as well as access to deep relaxation therapies to help release stress and anxiety and all for better sleep. 

The Romantic Cabin for Two competition is the second in a series of architecture competitions in partnership with Earth Energies New Zealand. For this competition, Earth Energies New Zealand is looking to complement its existing cabin with the development of a second accommodation structure. 

This smaller retreat for two should offer romantic, open plan luxury accommodation for two within the tranquil setting of the Earth Energies property. It should provide a comfortable and relaxing escape for two guests where they can connect with nature, as well as with each other, all while experiencing the holistic relaxation therapies offered at the retreat. 

As Earth Energies New Zealand intends to construct the Romantic Cabin for Two, it is important that participants ensure their designs reflect the best green building practices so that the cabin can be constructed and operated without having a negative impact on the local environment.
