Located in Dalefield, Queenstown, this home is part of a small development of five properties.
Architect Stacey Farrell created a series of interlinked 'pods' designed to each look out on a different aspect of the 360-degree mountain views.
A series of shallow ponds surrounding the house gives it its name: Reflections.
Creating the interlinked pods meant that the spaces in between could be used for outdoor entertaining at different times of the day.
Placement of the pods answered the clients' brief for a high level of separation within the home, giving the individual areas a greater sense of privacy.
The bright yellow, aluminium front door sets up the sense of arrival and serves as a counterbalance to the mid-ground view spied through the adjacent window.
The cathedral ceiling in the open-plan living area gives the space a volumetric presence that references the wide-ranging views through the glazed end wall.
Timber, leather and other natural fibres set up a lodge-like feeling within the living area, yet with very contemporary twist.
A built-in bench seat next to the fireplace provides a low-key perch from which to take in the view from the side window.
White subway tiles and black cabinetry, along with stone and stainless steel benchtops create a very functional kitchen space.
Textural elements throughout the home complement the natural environment and create a cosy atmosphere.
The children's bedroom includes two sets of bunk beds—designed by the architect—ideal for when overseas visitors come to stay.
A long gallery corridor links the pavilions together and provides space for the artist-owner to display her artworks.
A pared-back colour scheme in the main bedroom keeps the feeling light and fresh.
The built-in headboard provides simple storage and acts as a room divider between the bed and the wardrobes.
Textural elements throughout the home complement the natural environment and create a cosy atmosphere.
Shades of yellow, white and natural timber are repeating themes throughout the home.
Quirky elements and pops of colour juxtapose the neutral base palette and concrete floors.
