Text description provided by the architects. On this remote site, where architecture’s neighbour is ecology and geology rather than the built environment, how might we address the problem of the isolated building? The architect’s strategy for a five bedsuite luxury lodge in a remote glacial valley in the NZ Southern Alps explores these questions. The architecture draws inspiration from the imposing grandeur of the vastly scaled glacial landscape and the weaving folded moraine across the valley that ensued - remnant topography from the glacial retreat 10,000 years ago.
