For a recent showcase on residential architecture in the southern regions of New Zealand, Distinctive Designs Magazine ran a feature on a project we’re super proud to have designed: The Boulders Retreat in Cromwell.
It’s a jaw-dropping location, the owners had an amazing vision, and we worked with some wonderful and highly skilled people to bring this project to life, so we’re stoked to have the chance to chat about the design and see the home getting some extra recognition.
“It’s hard to describe just how good this house feels to be in,” Duncan says of the Otago oasis. “The alpine environment is incredibly harsh – the snow in winter, the brutally hot summers – but as soon as you step inside, it’s t-shirt and shorts weather, no matter the season. That’s the assurance of comfort you get from Passivhaus-informed design.”
