Fishermans Lane
By Triple Star Management
This contemporary and unique family home of 291m2 is situated above Lake Wakatipu and the picturesque Bobs Cove.
The design philosophy behind this beautiful new home has been aptly described by the architect Richard Naish of RTA Studio as: “A unique design intended to replicate a series of boat sheds elevated above Bobs Cove. Outdoor living areas with open cladding produce a lantern effect at night. The sweeping topography with native planting blends the property into the surrounding landscape”.
Each of the five pitch-rooved pavilions open out towards Lake Wakatipu and accommodate the five distinct functions of this house: living, master suite, family sleeping, guest sleeping and a central outdoor living and boat shed. The pavilions are linked together by an external breezeway and feature a suspended timber deck that extends down the lake.
The external appearance of this home includes a combination of rough sawn vertical cedar weatherboards, timber shutters, dark corrugate roofing, extruded joiner frames and dark aluminium joinery.
Internally, the majority of the finishes are of a bespoke nature and include cedar lined walls and ceilings, solid core lacquered cedar doors with rimu frames, mosaic bathroom tiling, feature joinery pieces such as the three tier bunk beds and full height storage units. Flooring includes a combination of black pebbled polished concrete floors, T&G recycled rimu timber floor and ‘crazy schist paving’.
Extensive landscaping including approximately 4,000 native plants effectively blends the building into the surrounding landscape.

HOW WE GOT HERE
In 2008, Peter Campbell formed Triple Star Management Ltd (Triple Star) in response to the growing demand from international homeowners and investors for a reliable and experienced single point of contact for all their construction needs in Queenstown and the surrounding Central Otago area.
In 2010, Peter Campbell and Karl Poole re-established Edge Construction 2010 Ltd, with the objective of bringing to the market a company that could provide quality construction with effective project management.
The two companies merged in 2015, to become a comprehensive and professional main contractor with integrated services over the entire project cycle. Triple Star is the amalgamation of the two companies and it is now owned by a group of employees who manage key areas of the business, with Peter Campbell and Karl Poole as Company Directors.
Peter is both a qualified builder and project manager, with a university degree in Project Management and Valuation. He has successfully delivered a significant range of commercial projects, including hotels, hospitals, apartments, office buildings, and many retail and high-end residential projects in both the North Island and Queenstown.
Karl completed his apprenticeship with Edge Construction whilst building the prestigious Blanket Bay Lodge near Glenorchy. His attention to detail and building skills were recognised and he progressed quickly to a foreman role. Since this time, over the past twenty years, he has managed the delivery of multiple high-end residential and commercial projects around Queenstown. These include Lot 22 at Wyuna Preserve, 'The Peak' on Queenstown Hill and, most recently, the villa development at Blanket Bay Lodge.
