Two modest structures placed on a beautiful slice of land in Queenstown, designed for warmth, comfort and a source of income. Designed to Homestar 6 rating, the client and project team are passionate about purposeful design and upcycling materials from the demolished dwelling to achieve a project set to delight.

For Compound, this is an interesting and exciting project for many of its facets. The two new structures on the site have been sequenced in a staged approach, with only a partial demo of an existing structure to allow the client to remain on-site during the construction programme.

Internal living spaces are designed with an exposed Formance SIP panel to the walls and ceiling, providing a look of character and warmth. Windows and outdoor areas connect daily life at The Village with astonishing mountain views. 

Both Arête Architects and the client share the passion Compound has for projects with a purpose like The Village. To learn more about the architects, click on the button below.
