The personnel at Murray Cockburn Partnership have the skills to creatively interpret our Clients requirements after having studied the particular constraints relating to a site and taking into account all physical, climatic, cultural and other influences in order to maximise the success of the project.

We noticed our readers are found of unusual houses that involve nature, weather they are located in a beautiful natural environment or actually built from sustainable materials. Today’s example- Kohara Lodge- comes from Murray Cockburn Partnership and is located within pristine lands in Queenstown, New Zealand. It features 3 bathrooms 4 bedrooms, an open living,-room, a large kitchen and on top of that, an impressive pool, a spa area and a fireplace. The idea behind the project was to create a house that would be as “connected” with nature as possible which is why the company replanted the native trees that the construction was built on. The surrounding sceneries are absolutely spectacular, as windows offer great views of the Shotover River and Coronet Peak.
