Edgar Street Apartments, Queenstown

Located on Queenstown Hill across three sites, this collection of architecturally designed, high-end apartments are designed to embrace sweeping views across Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding Southern Alps. Set into the steeply sloping site, the development comprises a mix of two, three and four-bedroom apartments, including generous two-storey penthouses with private roof terraces. Each site incorporates dedicated garage parking.

The buildings follow the natural contours of the site, with each apartment designed to maximise the expansive outlook. Generous outdoor terraces extend from the main living spaces, providing sheltered areas for outdoor living and entertaining. Deep overhangs, louvred roofs and window shrouds provide integrated exterior shading, while extensive landscaping helps soften the buildings and reinforce their connection to the alpine setting.

A material palette of schist stone, dark aluminium and timber-look aluminium cladding gives the development a refined, contemporary character. The cladding has been selected for its durability and low-maintenance qualities, providing a robust response to Queenstown’s mountainous environment.

High-performance building design prioritises thermal comfort throughout the year, with consideration given to solar control, insulation and passive environmental performance. Exterior shading through louvred roofs and window shrouds help to manage solar gain.

Internally, timber flooring, wool carpets, recessed feature timber ceilings, schist feature walls and substantial chimney breasts create warm, textural interiors that complement the natural material palette. The apartments are designed as private, luxurious retreats, with expansive living spaces and outdoor terraces.
