Terrace View
Nestled in Queenstown's rugged landscape, this geometric phenomenon is designed to accentuate living amidst the awe-inspiring surroundings. Sitting at an altitude of around 700 metres above sea level, the home features a nine-square grid floor plan, allowing for interchangeable spaces.
While adaptable, the house is anchored by in-situ concrete that rises smoothly from the terrain. Working with a concrete expert, the Peter Fell coloured concrete was specifically formulated for the home’s unique internal and external finishes.
Taking inspiration from the elements, this two-level home incorporates natural materials, such as cedar cladding, throughout its exterior. The organic, textural, and tonal material palette contrasts with the utility and functionality of the home's manmade materials.
The pyramid-like metal roof boasts a few unique features. The corrugated-metal roof is devoid of a gutter system, permitting rain, snow and ice to cascade directly off the edges. Positioned above the master bed, a distinctive round window offers an unobstructed, elevated view of the sky and surrounding mountaintops.
