SUBTERRANEAN-STYLE X-FACTOR HOME DESIGNED FOR QUEENSTOWN

Print Page

November, 2017

A wealthy Chinese Aucklander wants to build a Queenstown home with
the X factor.
The house - an X-shaped design which gives the appearance of floating
in the middle but is subterranean at each end - has been designed by
Auckland architects Monk Mackenzie, for Xuehua Mo.
The same firm modernised the city's New Art Gallery for Mr Mo, who
goes by the Anglicised name of Frank Mo. It became X Gallery.
X house, planned for Water Race Lane, in the Homestead Preserve of
Jack's Point, features six bedrooms all with en-suites, a media room,
spa, wine cellar, several balconies and a three-car garage.
'The dwelling is a bespoke high-end design that complements the
outstanding natural landscape in which it is set and the architectural
qualities associated with Jack's Point,' the resource consent document
said.
It has not yet been granted consent.
