Alpine Terrace
The house is a cluster of simple blackened buildings set around a courtyard. The cluster is sited on a sloping terrace surrounded by mountain ranges overlooking the Wakatipu Basin in New Zealand’s Southern Alps. While the outlook is spectacular, the elements can be harsh – the perimeter of the cluster provides a sanctuary.
The house is a low profiled retreat perched in the open landscape.
