Unrealised Concept
2023

Designed for a very step site with commanding views this large house sinks itself into the natural landscape. Portions of the house are bunkered into the hillside and enable shafts of light from above to break into the very core of the building. The layout allows for separate lodging with unique and separate zones which then journey to the 'Great Room' where stories are shared and connections are made.

DESIGN AND CLIENT FOCUSED

Hilton Miller Architects was founded in March 2019, after 19 years working for Warren and Mahoney Architects (one of New Zealand's most prestigious architectural firms).

Design and Client focused, we provide full architectural services to enable a bespoke and carefully considered design through an organised process, ensuring a cohesive and collaborative approach.

We Listen. Every client and site is unique, we will work with you to develop your brief and understand the initial context and drivers. These ideas are fully examined and further explored through sketches and finally translated into the built form.

Our design philosophy is threefold:

  • Enrich the lives of the inhabitants and guests
  • Stand the test of time
  • Respect environmental and site context

These three simple ideas are derived from a larger context of design excellence, healthy living, sustainable design, material/ environmental analysis, build-ability and budget; all of these are an absolute and become interwoven within our process.

Architecture is not only form and artistic style but it is also space and experience, the built form will represent those that live in it and how they share their environment with others.

Based in Queenstown, New Zealand, we have a strong affiliation with the Central Otago environment and greater South Island. We are passionate about architecture and good design, will always engage and be open about the process; ultimately striving for the best possible outcome.
