Glenfiddich Lodge

Glenfiddich Lodge banner

Sitting underneath the Remarkable mountain range sits Glenfiddich Lodge, a house to cater for large family get-togethers in both summer and winter. The living room features 4-metre-high windows to capture the tops of the Remarkables. The interior is designed to be extremely durable yet warm and comfortable, with vertical grooved MDF walls, polished concrete floors and hot-rolled-steel features throughout.  

The 280 square metre footprint is used efficiently to allow for 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms. This has been achieved by using attic trusses above the garage, utilising otherwise wasted roof space. The open plan living, dining and kitchen open out onto a private courtyard surrounded by native plants.

The exterior of the house is low maintenance, clean and modern, using Euro-tray for the roof and most of the walls, contrasted with some cedar weatherboards.

This house is available for holiday rental on Airbnb.

About the
Professional

Designs that incorporate our clients ideas, and then exceed their expectations. Alister and Katrina believe listening is the key.

“Great buildings are the result of a great team. The builder, the client and the architect all play a vital role.”

Dravitzki & Brown are a husband and wife duo committed to designing beautiful buildings with functional spaces that enhance people’s lives. They give their clients a professional service with a down to earth approach. Based in Queenstown since 2008 they understand the design challenges created by its harsh climate. Although mostly designing locally around Queenstown and Wanaka they have designed a number of projects in different parts of New Zealand, including Greytown, New Plymouth, Dunedin, Oamaru.

Their strength lies in their ability to design buildings which have a consistent design language, both in the overall form and the way materials are used. Their extensive knowledge in complex detailing brings these designs to life, whilst their photo-realistic renderings ensure clients can see and understand the vision well before construction starts.

Alister and Katrina are experts in designing all aspects of complex spaces; juggling proportion, size, scale, sun, views, clients brief and budgets altogether which form the basis of all designs

Both Alister & Katrina are current architecture graduate members of the NZIA, New Zealand Institute of Architects.
