HISTORY Growing up, New Zealand was a second home to me. It was there that I learnt to snow ski; being all of three-years-old, my dad confidently put me on skis, and I’ve loved it ever since. From there, every year, we would ski, and I am fortunate to have skied around the world, however New Zealand has kept a special place in my heart. The Attahua by Aman ski resort will embody everything I love about skiing, from coming off the mountain after a long day on the slopes into the warmth of a fireplace to having mulled wines in surrounding rustic and comforting interiors. The natural elements integrated into New Zealand interior design and architecture encapsulate these feelings and contribute to the heartfelt experience. From natural minerals such as schist, timber and stone to high vaulted ceilings, the picture starts to come to fruition. The New Zealand landscape has been my overall inspiration for this project from undulating hills and rocky mountain faces, it is a scene of beauty that words cannot describe.

ataahua by Aman (1) stative: to be beautiful Nestled at the junction of untold wilderness and coveted lived experience, Ataahua by Aman ushers in the serenity of the unexplored and undisturbed, encapsulating beauty in an aura of silence disturbed only by the slightest movements of mountaintop snow. Within its design comes enshrined the untold stories of a thriving natural spirit borne upon the culture, community and nature inherent to New Zealand, an ethereal, intangible and inimitable experience emulated by many but ultimately delivered as an intimate experience at Ataahua. The resort draws on and emphasises the inherent affinity of nature towards absolving subconscious tensity, developing a primal allure to which guests will be exclusively privy. The experience of Ataahua offers an opportune transition from the stress of the everyday into a timeless state of uncomplicated calm.
