Sitting amongst the rolling topography of the glacial moraine in the remote Ahuriri valley, three hours inland from Queenstown and overlooking the glimmering Ahuriri River, sits the Lindis Lodge; a beautiful new five-bedroom luxury chalet.
Designed by Wellington based architects, Architecture Workshop Ltd with their consultants; Dunning Thornton Consultants , Ecubed , Holmes Fire and constructed by Brosnan Construction, the Lindis Lodge was designed to complement the landscape in an environmentally friendly way, as well as nestle in to the grandeur of the glacial valley whilst affording maximum luxury and ambience.
The innovative structural hardwood gridshell folds over the Great Hall (the main interior space) and anchors the building into the ground, creating an organic aesthetic that required sophisticated parametric analysis and innovative construction detailing to realise.
Viking Enviroclad was specified as the waterproofing membrane as it provides a complete alternative solution to comply with E2 in the extreme environment of the Southern Alps.
