The residence was designed by Coburn Harris Butt Architecture. This large house is situated on a promontory overlooking Lake Wakatipu to the west, with the Remarkables to the east and Peninsula Hill to the north – hiding Coronet Peak. The rolling tussock covered hills and the manicured fairways of the Jacks Point Golf Course. The concept is based on “honest” architecture – crisp, clean lines devoid of decoration, constructed from material extracted from the site and sourced from the region as far as possible. The scale of the house was determined by the accommodation requirements. The master bedroom area looks out over Lake Wakatipu whilst the guest rooms focus on the Remarkables. The form of the house is very simple in its concept. To the north of the gallery is the living area – essentially two very large rooms – the living room and the kitchen/dining/family room. These open onto an extensive patio area with lap pool/sauna/plunge pool.
