Designing a space where the view is the focal point requires subtle restraint. Creating a home in Queenstown, from Auckland, for clients located in Queensland demands considerable trust and committed communication. This stunning shared holiday house, perched above Lake Wakatipu, was a project of passion for all involved. Featured on Grand Designs NZ late 2023, this 3-bedroom resort style haven, takes in all the breath-taking views Queenstown has to offer.

In collaboration with our clients, who were knowledgeable, upbeat, and pragmatic, Yellowfox designer Peta Davy designs a kitchen and living space that is quintessentially Queenstown. Dark, moody corners set against natural timbers and aged brass. Peta describes the mirror splashback as transformative, saying, - ‘the mirror splash is magical, visually expanding the kitchen's dimensions and seamlessly integrating the mountainside into a space that could otherwise feel lifeless’

We're incredibly grateful to the architect, Matthew Laird, for bringing us into this project. His relentless dedication helped create a peaceful retreat where the clients can enjoy precious moments with family and friends.
