This architectural project in Queenstown combines traditional 19th Century Central Otago house-building with American mountain retreat and European country house styles. The three-bedroom house with a separate garage was originally designed for a different location but was modified to fit the clients' dream lifestyle block in the hills above Lake Wakatipu. The house's exterior is made up of western red cedar timber and bagged schist, which provides both style and practicality in cold weather. One of the features is a sheltered outdoor room with a wood-burning stone fireplace and chimney, allowing for year-round enjoyment of the outdoors and stunning views.

The lower floor is designed for family life, with an open-plan great room, formal dining area, kitchen, and a mezzanine level above that houses the family's book collection and home office. The house has diverse global influences, including nods to American mountain retreats, Tuscan villas, and English country houses. The celebration of the land around it and the crisp contemporary interior design add to the unique and timeless flair of the house.

Sorted Architecture creates buildings that are beautiful, practical, and sustainable, designed around clients' needs. They provide on-site consultations, computer-modeled concept designs, and VR walk-throughs as part of their client-focused process.

About the

Excellence in architectural design to bring your vision to life.

Sorted Architecture is an award-winning architectural design practice based in Wānaka. Our work spans commercial, residential and renovation projects for clients around New Zealand.

Established in 1993, Sorted Architecture has been a fixture in the architectural landscape of the Southern Lakes for more than 30 years. A member of the Architectural Designers of New Zealand (ADNZ), our practice has won multiple regional and national awards, and our work has featured in many of New Zealand’s leading architectural publications.

Based in Wānaka, Central Otago, our practice has three decades of experience designing buildings for extreme environments. Initially designing homes in our hometown of Wānaka, our projects now span from the mountains to the coasts. Each design integrates innovation, sophistication and efficiency as a way to harmonise buildings with the natural environment.

Innovation and sophistication without extravagance

Our design ethos merges style, practicality and innovation to create buildings that reflect the individuality of owners and the natural landscape in which they sit. Guided by many years of experience working with the challenges and opportunities of extreme environments, we have created buildings to sit amongst mountains, lakes and beaches.

These impressive landscapes have inspired us to think beyond the ordinary to create homes of efficiency and comfort without forgoing design impact.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
