THE BURROWS

The Burrows is an intriguing project in one of New Zealand's most rapidly evolving residential destinations. Located in Twizel — a town increasingly sought after for its proximity to the Mackenzie Basin, Aoraki/Mount Cook, and the hydro lakes — this new build is currently under construction and represents a considered architectural response to the alpine residential context. The project involves resource consent covering a broader site vision, with building consent for two structures, suggesting a thoughtful master-planning approach to how the dwellings occupy and relate to their plot. Cladding angles, pergola detailing, and roof composition have all been worked through carefully at concept stage, reflecting a design that takes the particulars of its environment seriously.
