- Hunkered into the hillside and seemingly floating over a pond, Hidden Island Retreat enjoys panoramic views of mountains, lakes and tarns, rocky alpine outcrops and tussock grasslands. Mason & Wales Architects has created a powerful composition of architectural form and materials to ensure this large home sits comfortably within one of the most beautiful landscapes in New Zealand.
On an exposed site near Jack’s Point Village, just 20 minutes from Queenstown, this modern home has been designed to capture views in all directions, due to its location at the foot of The Remarkables mountain range, beside the shores of Lake Wakatipu and next to an 18-hole, par 72 championship golf course. In Queenstown’s district plan, the area is officially described as an ‘outstanding natural landscape’, which meant that the design and construction of this project required extra special consideration.
At 800m² in size, Hidden Island Retreat is an especially large house, plus there is another 200m² of terraces and decks, so it’s form and materials needed to be discreet when seen from the air and from the neighbouring mountains. “The architectural language and material palette responds to and is subservient to the natural landscape,” explains Hamish Muir from Dunedin-based practice Mason & Wales Architects. “We’ve cut the house into the hillside to minimise its height, so it fits in with its surroundings.”
Using recessive colours in warm brown and grey tones, rather than black, on the exterior has helped to blend the form into the tussock grasslands, the native vegetation and the mountainous backdrop. “The design ties in with the craggy landscape and the jagged edges of the mountains. Stone, metal, wood and glass help to create a composition that sits harmoniously in the landscape,” adds Francis Whittaker, also from Mason & Wales Architects.

To live alone in that huge and spacious house, isolated from society.... I WANT IT.
´´Isolated from society’´, except for a few cool human beings who would vacuum the floors and... and..., etc.
Electricity...
Good water supply..
Food shortage..
Extreme lonliness
Sounds depressing.
@@Elijah-Bravo sounds good
Isolated from society? Haven't you seen a village on the other side of the lake?
This is my favorite video on youtube. I watch it time and time again
@@BrentLogan-jn1vl nz is my favourite place on earth and this video doesn't take away from that at all
This House has been placed in the most prettiest place ever with the best design on the house 🏡
Where's it?
0:13 Burglar: Gonna have to scale that massive gate to get in...
Oh! look a nice get around! :D
what a coincidence!
Btr with no gate
looks like a pretty daunting task
Gate, guns, god, 👍
@Bas Eisinga dude Nz has a high criminal rate
That gate overlooking the mountains is such a powerful welcome treat
The aesthetics of this house are on a whole new level
Combining the terms "800 square meters" and "sustainability" into the same breath, and with a straight face, is more impressive than the engineering required to build that roof system.
Nolan Walker Even big buildings can be carbon-neutral, even carbon-negative.
@@carloshugosuarezsampaio8251 that's true, from a carbon standpoint. There is more to sustainability than just carbon footprint, though.
@@carloshugosuarezsampaio8251 you know what's more efficient than purchasing offsets for high embodied emissions?
NOT CAUSING DEMAND FOR THE EMISSIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE

@@carloshugosuarezsampaio8251 Read my comment again. Try to understand it. Not difficult :P
Seriously impressive. Beautifully designed and crafted.
Love the use of stone and wood which makes it feel so natural and comfortable with a feeling of warmth
I love how even millionaires like those cheap Ikea lounge chairs. They are so great!
There’s no IKEA in New Zealand
@@sjhansen At 2:02 there are two IKEA lounge chairs in the main room.....
@@sjhansen There is such a thing as international shipping, ya know.
I think Millionaires buy luxurious at the end, when they can buy anything they wish without delay.
probably because they already blow out most of the budget for structural and architectural aspect.
My favorite houses are on archipro. Almost always some combination of concrete (or gravel or gray bricks), wood, glass, and metal set into a spacious gentle slope among soft rolling hills
New Zealand is one of the most beautiful country on earth.
My dream is to visit there once.
DO IT
@@furqonlanang9250 i will 😄
Where you from?)

@@Jozaam-21 nice! Good luck then :)
Outstandingly beautiful .. love the use of different natural materials as well as reflection in glass and water that makes the home blend so beautifully into the stunning mountain backdrop .. clever camophlage in building .. mindblowing architecture
The stone, concrete wall finish in great harmony with the site/environment.👍🇵🇭❤
A brilliantly designed and crafted project by Mason & Wales
Beautifully done, colour tones perfectly compliment each other. Impressive architectural design. Well done 👍
GOD is there in HD ... Well done👏 Gentlemen to have incorporated as much Natural GOD ENERGY within the build ... ... This what you achieved is my Ultimate product for my design business ... Thanks for the Inspiration!!! 🤲
This is how I felt when I saw the video.The God energy is so immense.
Breathtaking. Solitude. Great combo.
What a magnificent home.
The same thought I had when I was going to comment...
You might not feel that way if you had to live here (NZ) and see millionaires blighting formerly wild landscapes with their gated community vanity projects while the cost and ability to build/buy is out of reach for the average resident. Fancy paying 5 to 600 000 for a very mediocre suburban house while the median wage is about 35 000? Probably not, right? That's NZ now. Not so fancy.
@@complimentary_voucher good to know. I wanted to retire in NZ some day. I could see myself building a small home on 100 acres of beautiful mountainous NZ wilderness. That was my pipe dream. Guess it will only be in my dreams
J Flow its hard to become a nz citizen once you're over 55
@@azuro1637 too bad.
what an amazing house and landscape... it's just a dream
beautiful home, beautiful surrounding with both lake and mountain views.
I mean how do they even get the rights to build at such a location? This is literarily impossible in Sweden because of Nature preservation regulations.
It would be a dream to live there for me! But I think Swedens regulations are maybe a bit better
the whole of NZ is like this, so if they can't build it there they can't build at all :o
@@mrslugsworth4377 Yeah... no. Not the whole country.
Man, Sweden is in Europe and Europe is increasingly meaning "bureaucracy", so soon Europeans will have to ask the government for the right to blink.
@@mrslugsworth4377 exact...
OMG, that's heaven... Total tranquility.
Look at the map, they are building all around...
Now, that's a great view!

Cheers to a Good life whereever it happens & to who so ever who lives it !!!

Very striking , impressive , commanding - blends beautifully with its setting - a ultra modern zen-ish nod to Frank Loyd Wright 😌
FLW would not appreciate being linked to this. You obviously don’t know the man.
What a stunning home!
On this place there should be a castle that will leave the memory of us as great architects.
Flawless design, curated architecture, decidedly chic.

Thank you for this Masterpiece of Content. Wooooow
This is a real masyerpiece
But only for uniqe people that can live so isolated in nature
But I want it.
Gorgeous house, location. I’d move there in a heartbeat.
Sell everything and go, you only live once, and it's a quick life. Don't wish, don't procrastinate one more day. Don't wait till your old and frail to say I should have done more...and when you get there let me know how it is.
@@oB_Session preaching to the choir my friend! I spent my 20’s and half my 30’s traveling and working and living in some of the best places in this country and Mexico. Winters living in ski resorts and summers enjoying beaches in Hawaii, Baja California, east coast and river rafting in Montana. We’ll see what this post pandemic phase of life has to offer!
@@WulfricTheBlack all the power to you my friend, only wishing you the best life has to offer.
@@oB_Session you too!
Stunning 🤩. UK 🏴
Has anyone seen the movie Heat? This is what Robert Deniro's character imagined when he talked about New Zealand.
Exactly! I was thinking the same
One of the best movies ever!
Best movie ever made! Thank you for your comment man :) Can just imagine Neil in an alternate ending looking out to the New Zealand mountains with a blue sky.
Great reference.
This would be my dream home and location...... fantastic job!!

Not too many people will look at the gravel roof from the air or the mountain but it's great that they did not want to offend sense of décor even of the few.
