    Moda Tuscany
    Lake Tewa House

    At the foot of the Remarkables, the exclusive waterside precinct of Lake Tewa is taking shape at Jack's Point. Eight landmark Lake Houses, designed by Mason & Wales, will wrap the lake's shore, each home built around large gabled windows, indoor-outdoor entertaining and a private jetty, with finishes chosen to reflect the varying tones and textures of the landscape beyond.

    Moda Tuscany Feature Plank runs through the interiors as part of that palette — a warm, grey-washed European Oak, wide in the plank, its knots and grain left visible under a brushed, extra-matte finish that reads raw underfoot while holding the durability and water resistance of a lacquer. Set against the Remarkables' stone and tussock, it grounds each Lake House in the same natural register as the site around it.
