Hingarae Residence and Resort - New Zealand |
Wednesday, 05 March 2008 |
Most of us have a personal image of an ideal escape or getaway. A
secluded beach shack hidden on an island paradise - a tucked away cabin
built into a snowy mountainside - a private chateaux set on the quiet,
rolling hills of a vineyard - basically anywhere we feel removed from
the mundane normalcy of our own daily lives.
X.Pace, a Sydney/Singapore-based design studio is on the verge of
helping us redefine the ultimate lifestyle solution - the highly
luxurious Hingarae residences and resort located in Lake Taupo on New
Zealand's north island. Hingarae embodies everything one would
expect from 6 star standards - the ideal balance of extreme luxury,
privacy and ultra-modern built form set upon a pristine natural
environment.
The development will offer twenty eight opportunities to own a
fully-furnished Hingarae Module. Each individual Module is 200
square metres set carefully within 1 hectare of natural
landscape. Oversized glazing allows uninterrupted views to the
surrounding forest, green countryside, snow-capped mountains and
crystal blue lake. The interior design is equally rewarding
offering an exceptional imported blend of modern and futuristic
furniture. The main living space sits on a revolving disc floor
that allows orientation toward the exterior or the LCD screen.
Numerous additions to Hingarae Module ownership include an electric car
for all on-site traveling, personal use of Hingarae's premium luxury
4WD vehicles for off-site travel, access to on-call helicopter,
on-going membership to Jack Nicklaus' Kinloch Golf Club, ongoing winter
season's pass to Mount Ruapehu's Whakapapa (New Zealand's largest ski
area), shared use of Hingarae's motor launch and unlimited access to
the 6 Star Hotel Hingarae and all its facilities including a recording
studio. Hingarae also fully manages and maintains each Module and its
individual acreage.
Nearly every aspect of a superior style of living has been taken into
consideration during the conception and development phases of
Hingarae. Unlike anything in the world, this New Zealand
destination will soon embody the ultimate expression of escape for
those of us able to get in - as prices start from US$1.9 million. As
for the rest of us, we can always hope for an invitation from a
generous friend. By Andrew J Wiener.
