In a quiet corner of Arrowtown, the Cottage’s simple form embraces the areas heritage in a contemporary response. Envisioned as the first stage on this site the design capitalises on the views, sun and privacy of the location. Externally the envelope is low maintenance and simple. Internally softness and fine detail, with clever interventions maximises the functionality of a small footprint and at the same time capture the personality of the clients.
