Spectacular scenery – and sheep – are the initial stuff that spring to mind for many people whenever we think about Nz.

To have an architect, spectacular landscape is always both challenging as well as an chance.

It was greatly the problem for David Ponting, founding father of Ponting Fitzgerald (in 1998) of Ponsonby, Auckland, Nz, as he saw the website for which his affluent client wished will be a “sanctuary.”

The website was breathtaking with unbelievable sights of Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown, Nz, and also the mountain tops beyond.

Rocky, effective terrain. Strong visual lines. Subdued color plan. Nothing dainty or typically cozy would work. This website were built with a strong, effective existence of its very own.

Ponting and the client chosen an easy, yet very demanding, brief: Allow the land speak. Having a sensitivity that Ponting later referred to as getting an “element of divination, ” he permitted the website to convey itself.

Instead of visiting the website having a preconceived group of shoulds and musts and restricting ideas, the designers stored walking the website. They eventually ‘divined’ an attractive solution that talks exactly the same language because the site.

They realized that there have been two separate locations on the website, each using its own distinct natural forms, each ‘asking for any building.’

They granted the needs and produced two low-profile structures, one because the master dwelling, another – the bigger one - because the guest wing.

When seen previously mentioned, in the entrance way and car park, each appears like a minimal-laying bird wing. Not imposing or stifling, but in some way belonging within the landscape.

The breathtaking great thing about the structures originates from the strong elements: glass and stone, and polished, board-created as well as in-situ put concrete, with reflecting ponds and skylights adding some question – all within the service of letting the land speak, none waiting in between your viewer and also the view. The landscape is literally area of the interior, mainly in the guest wing that's more open and grandiose compared to a little more private and inward-searching master house.

Within the master dwelling, the home windows at one finish consider cut bedrock, with snow-assigned mountain tops beyond. In the other finish, around the rocky hillside, the vista sometimes includes individuals famous Nz wild sheep that from time to time wander by.

If there has ever been a task in which the brief has really become reality, here it is. The land has spoken, and it was heard well. We're waiting for an invite towards the guest wing. And really should it ever arrive, we might never leave. - Tuija Seipell.
