Mountain View Cottage Mountain View Cottage
Designed as additional accommodation within an established Queenstown property, this 110 sqm cottage provides a private and considered retreat for visiting family and guests.
Positioned in the north-eastern corner of the site, the cottage is oriented to the south-west, opening the main living spaces towards views across the valley. At its heart is a generous open-plan kitchen and living area, with two ensuite bedrooms positioned at either end to provide guests with a sense of privacy and independence. A practical entry and mudroom supports the everyday function of the cottage while keeping the overall plan simple and efficient.
Architecturally, the cottage was designed to sit comfortably alongside the existing home, sauna and greenhouse. A simple mono-pitch roof, generous glazing and decking to the main frontage give the building a contemporary character, balanced by a restrained approach that responds to the architecture already established on the property.
The result is a compact yet generous guest retreat that feels connected to both the existing property and its Queenstown setting.
