A modern-day castle designed for Christchurch earthquake refugees, blending traditional castle elements with energy-efficient passive house principles in the alpine setting of Queenstown.

This home showcased on Grand Designs NZ was Christchurch earthquake refugees Andy Macbeth and Jo Denton's modern-day castle against the elements in alpine Queenstown. 

The couple's dream was to include the castle elements in a modernist energy-efficient 'passive house' to protect their family against earthquakes and climate extremes.

“Dear Conan and Sara I wanted to drop you just a quick note to thank you for the excellent job repainting the interior of Highview. We were very happy with everything from the promptness of your tender through to the tidy up afterward. Working in with us during a busy time of the year was especially helpful as we had guests coming and going throughout. We have no hesitation in recommending you and in fact we wouldn't bother with the tendering process in the future, we'll just give you a call.”

Peter & Fiona Bersani, Highview Retreat
