Located in Queenstown with breathtaking views of Lake Wakatipu, this low maintenance family home has been designed to connect seamlessly with the outdoors. Every room offers a view of the lake and mountains beyond.
The compact 140m2 home has been cleverly designed to accommodate a busy family with regular international guests and work from home requirements. The floor plan is divided with an open plan living centrally positioned to face the lake. Upstairs, sleeping spaces are separated for privacy with the master suite cantilevering out towards the lake. Nooks for reading, playing and listening to music create an illusion of space beyond the physical dimensions of the home.
The materials and finishes chosen prioritise beauty, durability and sustainability. Charred larch timber cladding, raw concrete block and grey clay brickwork emanate earthy tones and the angular forms of the building mimic the rugged nature of the surrounding mountain ranges.

About the
Professional
Urbanfunction is a design collaborative based in the central city of Christchurch, New Zealand that draws on a range of skill and experience to deliver a diverse range of residential and commercial architectural projects both at home in beautiful Aotearoa and internationally.
Design director Aaron Jones formed both zerobag and urbanfunction on his return from years of working abroad in Melbourne and London.

The importance of Architecture and design within society, we believe is everything. As space, light and visual context affect mood and function within ourselves and those around us, it is critical we live within well considered environments. Considered not only for the purpose of which a building or product is to function but also to it's own environment and surroundings. This forms part of the core philosophy as to how we approach design.
