Residential architecture in Dalefield, Queenstown by Stacey Farrell Architect. A pavilion-style home arranged around reflecting ponds and mountain views.
The design is organised as a collection of separate pavilions, allowing the house to break down in scale while creating moments of privacy and connection across the site.
Each pavilion is carefully positioned to capture light, views, and orientation, with connections formed through a gallery that links the spaces together.
The result is a calm, grounded house that sits lightly within its landscape, using water and reflection to extend the architecture into its surroundings.
