The Peak

The design objective for this luxurious family home that sits in a prominent position, high on Queenstown Hill, was to address and overcome the steep and challenging site whilst maximising solar gain and retaining uninterrupted views out over the lake to the mountains beyond. 

The resulting design of this split-level dwelling of 892m2 is characterised by a long, narrow form that hugs the natural contours of the land and is partly embedded into the hillside. 

Although not specific on their expectations for the external appearance of this dwelling, this client had a very clear vision of the internal spatial requirements for their home. These included six generous bedrooms (including ensuites and a self-contained suite), a four-car garage, wine cellar, two bars, a feature ‘floating’ staircase, lift, billiard room, rumpus room, and extensive indoor and outdoor living areas. This ‘wish list’ very much shaped the appearance of the building as a series of narrow layers that emerge from the ground. 

The external appearance of this building is characterised by schist, off-the-form concrete and Alucobond panel cladding, as well as anodised aluminium joinery and recessed and frameless glass sections. Two large feature stone chimneys further distinguish the exterior of this home.

About the
Professional

Welcome to Triple Star.  We are an award-winning, full-service project management and construction company located in Central Otago, New Zealand.  We have a proven reputation in the management and building of high-end projects. 

Our team has considerable experience in all types of residential and commercial construction and we pride ourselves on our relationships and our ability to achieve the highest standards.  We look forward to talking to you about your project.

HOW WE GOT HERE

In 2008, Peter Campbell formed Triple Star Management Ltd (Triple Star) in response to the growing demand from international homeowners and investors for a reliable and experienced single point of contact for all their construction needs in Queenstown and the surrounding Central Otago area.

In 2010, Peter Campbell and Karl Poole re-established Edge Construction 2010 Ltd, with the objective of bringing to the market a company that could provide quality construction with effective project management.

The two companies merged in 2015, to become a comprehensive and professional main contractor with integrated services over the entire project cycle. Triple Star is the amalgamation of the two companies and it is now owned by a group of employees who manage key areas of the business, with Peter Campbell and Karl Poole as Company Directors.

Peter is both a qualified builder and project manager, with a university degree in Project Management and Valuation. He has successfully delivered a significant range of commercial projects, including hotels, hospitals, apartments, office buildings, and many retail and high-end residential projects in both the North Island and Queenstown.

Karl completed his apprenticeship with Edge Construction whilst building the prestigious Blanket Bay Lodge near Glenorchy. His attention to detail and building skills were recognised and he progressed quickly to a foreman role. Since this time, over the past twenty years, he has managed the delivery of multiple high-end residential and commercial projects around Queenstown. These include Lot 22 at Wyuna Preserve, 'The Peak' on Queenstown Hill and, most recently, the villa development at Blanket Bay Lodge.
