Jacks Point House
Completed 2009
remarkable
This large house is situated on a promontory overlooking Lake Wakatipu to the west, with the Remarkables to the east and Peninsula Hill to the north – hiding Coronet Peak. In the fore ground are rolling tussock covered hills and the manicured fairways of the Jacks Point Golf Course.
The house is approached down a long lane from the east with the Remarkables at your back and Lake Wakatipu at your front. The entry gallery is aligned on this axis linking these two dominant features.
living
To the north of the gallery is the living area – essentially two very large rooms – the living room and the kitchen/dining/family room. These open onto an extensive patio area with lap pool/sauna/plunge pool.
Approximately half way down the central gallery a tee junction occurs – this secondary access links to the master bedroom area (to the west), the guest bedroom wing (to the east)with a stair/lift down to the basement garage. The master bedroom area looks out over Lake Wakatipu whilst the guest rooms focus on the Remarkables.
The form of the house is very simple in its concept. It is made up of three parts – the living wing (a rectangular form), the bedroom area (a square shape) and the linear gallery.
