The Remarkables provide a magnificent backdrop to the home, whose gable roof profiles immitate the ridges of the mountains.
Beyond the property, peaks of Lake Wakatipu can be seen.
The morning sun is enjoyed from a deck spilling out form the kitchen/living space.
The exterior was clad entirely in timber, to integrate the two building forms.
The home steps down the sloped site, which is adjacent to a public reserve.
The glazing is cut neatly into the building's facade, creating a clean and geometric aesthetic.
A glazed hallway between the two building forms, gives access to the bedrooms and lower garage level.
The dark metal tray roofing provides a simple and linear finish that enhances the lines of the home.
The slot window at the end of the entry hallway can be seen at the right side of the two-storey gable form.
At dusk, the home takes on the same hues as the landscape.
The garage is accessed through an almost invisible timber-clad sectional door that means the building form remains seamless.
This deck is a perfect spot to take in the morning sun and drink coffee.
The glazed hallway to the living space provides a gallery wall for the homeowner's art collection on one side.
The kitchen materiality brings the outdoors in through timber cabinetry and a stone benchtop.
The laundry takes in more subdued hues for a relaxing utility space.
The open-plan kitchen/dining space takes in a huge amount of natural light through extensive glazing.
The polished concrete floors throughout the living spaces provide a soothing and neutral anchor for the biophilic materiality throughout.
A perfect corner spot to soak in the morning rays.
The sunken lounge with woodburner includes a built-in concrete display bench that showcases the homeowner's unique objects.
The entryway with terracotta tiles and built-in study for adults.
The kitchen features a picture-window bench space for reading and relaxing.
A view to The Remarkables at the rear of the home.
The sunken lounge is accessed through in situ concrete stairs at the rear of the dining space. An external deck at the back of the lounge is a perfect spot to catch the evening sun.
The stairwell down to the laundry and garage.
The master bedroom is compact in size, yet takes in a remarkable view.
Each bedroom uses a different soft hue on the grooved walls to express the space.
A child's bedroom features a slot window to take in light and scenery.
Jacks Point Home 2
The master bathroom creates a mood through dark colours and luxury tiling.
The family bathroom is far more playful, with terracotta floors, and speckled tiles, with a shub built into the shower.
A third bathroom for guests features a concrete floor and black steel-framed shower.

About the
Professional

We want to make the process of building a home easy for clients.

Prior to the founding of Ben Hudson Architects, Ben Hudson and John Mathieson met whilst working at Warren and Mahoney, where a shared interest was realised in producing bespoke, imaginative architecture that is well constructed and sits comfortably in it’s surrounding.

We believe successful projects require good communication and earned trust between clients, architects, consultants and builders. Our approach is friendly and personable, whilst our work demonstrates sensitivity and subtlety in design.

A core strength of the practice is our past experience and combined knowledge and skills that allow us to bring a broader perspective to the conversation. Ben and John work together on all stages of our projects; a collaborative approach that brings dual sensibilities to each design, ensuring that the quality of detail is maintained in the final build.

Our goal is to pursue architecture that marries innovative and exciting design with a keen awareness of context and environmental responsibility. Our architecture is not about pre-determined style or fashion, we seek to produce enduring livable architecture capable of inspiration and delight. Put simply, we aim to create places and spaces that people love.

Core strength is our past experience and the combined knowledge and skills of the team. Ben and John will work together on all design stages of our projects; a collaborative approach that brings dual sensibilities to each design.

We believe successful projects require good communication and earned trust between clients, architects, consultants and builders. Our work demonstrates sensitivity and subtlety in design, whilst ensuring that the quality of detail is maintained in project realisation.
