Jacks Point Residence
This large house is situated on a promontory whose axis aligns with the landscape’s key features; Lake Wakatipu to the west, the Remarkables to the east and Peninsula Hill to the north – hiding Coronet Peak. In the foreground are tussock-covered hills and the manicured fairways of the Jacks Point Golf Course. The home is comprised of three parts; the linear gallery, the living wing (a rectangular form), and the bedroom area (a square shape). The concept is based on “honest” architecture – crisp, clean lines, constructed from material extracted from the site and sourced within the region. The deep, recessed windows accentuate the solid construction of the building, portraying a sense of permanence and connection concerning the historic buildings and the landscape of the region.
