Previous pages: A transparent picture of glass
walls and slender structural steel elements,
the Queenstown home looks ready for a warm
summer. However, with triple glazed, argon
gas-filled windows and doors that push the limits
of glass efficiency, it is ready for all the climate
variables that mountain living brings. The concrete
box to the right is the home sauna, accessed from
the second-floor master suite and hall. In a home
where nothing is ordinary, glass tubes in the
concrete walls create lights when the sauna is in
use. Rock excavated for terraced levels was reused
for gardens around the house and in the pools.
