DECORATING Central Otago Ltd The newly completed $12m clubhouse at Arvida’s Queenstown Country Club has received a resounding stamp of approval from residents, says Arvida South Island development manager Peter Hornby. “The residents love it. It’s been a very welcome addition to the village,” he says. Totalling 1,650sqm, the clubhouse is a focal point for the community. It comprises a 15m swimming pool and spa, library, 50-seat movie theatre, fitness gym and spacious communal lounge and dining, open fire and billiards tables. Designed by Warren & Mahony Architects, the clubhouse looks and feels like a luxurious alpine lodge, to tie in with the rest of the community, says Peter. The design took inspiration from the local flora and fauna reflected in the selection of fabrics and colours. In particular the under wing of the olive kea provides creative impetus to the design. The clubhouse offers stunning views of Coronet Peak and the Remarkables via large windows and vaulted ceilings. It also offers great indoor-outdoor flow to landscaped gardens positioned to capture the sun and includes bowls, croquet, petanque and barbeque areas for residents to enjoy. “The inspiration for Arvida is for the clubhouse to be the beating heart of the community, helping residents to live a fulfilling and stimulating life,” explains Peter. The clubhouse supports Arvida’s mission of improving the lives of New Zealanders by transforming the ageing experience. Arvida acquired the 21ha village in 2019 with 46 villas already built on the site.
