Mill Farm Residence by Whitaker Architects

Millbrook Resort, Arrowtown (Designed when at Mason&Wales)

Title:: Mill Farm Residence
Architect:: Whitaker Architects
Category:: Residential/New Builds
Completed:: 2023
Building style:: Modern
Photographers:: Simon Larkin

Perched at the highest point of Millbrook Resort above the Coronet 11th Fairway, this alpine home clusters five croft-like forms, two in local schist, three in blackened steel and glass, around a central glazed gallery, reading as one bold, multi-gabled composition against the Wakatipu Basin and surrounding peaks. It was shaped to sit in harmony with the resort's alpine character, balancing schist and blackened steel exteriors against warm, timber-lined interiors.

Inside, raked ceilings, clerestory windows and generous glazing carry light and long golf-course views through a procession of high-volume living spaces, anchored by a double-sided fireplace and opening to a covered terrace, pool and landscaped grounds. Built by Trinity Construction and completed in 2023

Master Builder Home of the Year: ‘This is a home shaped by thoughtful design, masterful execution and an intuitive understanding of place.
