The 5-bed property at 930 Ferry Road was designed by acclaimed Queenstown architecture firm Cockburn Design in the early 80s. Built into the surrounding bank, it features Alexandra Stone and rimu and a mezzanine garden that opens the second-floor bedrooms and an office directly onto a green space.
Current owner Rosemary Zwies says the original owners worked closely with Cockburn Design to bring the unique vision to life, which has stood the test of time for over forty years. As well as being a dramatic feature of the property, the Alexandra Stone used throughout the house has other benefits.
