Arvida Queenstown Country Club, New Zealand.
Project Overview
Nestled in an ideal location for active lifestyles, the Queenstown Country Club provides easy access to scenic walks and cycleways leading to Lake Hayes, the Shotover River, and Frankton. Nearby attractions include Arrowtown, the vineyards of Gibbston Valley, and five golf courses, including Millbrook and The Hills. The 1,650 sqm clubhouse serves as a focal point for the community, designed by Warren & Mahoney Architects to resemble a luxurious alpine lodge. Facilities include a swimming pool, library, movie theatre, fitness gym, and spacious communal lounge with an open fire and billiards tables.
Innovative Residential Options
Queenstown Country Club offers over 230 private villas and apartments, along with a rest home and dementia care services. Unlike traditional models, this community emphasizes public engagement through shared spaces, including a civic area, childcare facilities, retail center, clubhouse, and medical center, creating opportunities for all generations to connect.
Flooring Solutions: Premium Carpets and Engineered Timber
The villas feature three distinct flooring color palettes, incorporating three high-end carpets from Feltex's solution-dyed nylon range—such as Ruby Bay —and three colors from Godfrey Hirst's premium engineered timber range Villa. These selections epitomize easy living flooring, combining practicality with luxury.
Solution-dyed nylon is an excellent choice for high-traffic areas, particularly for older residents, as it combines durability with comfort. Its exceptional stain and fade resistance ensures lasting beauty, even in sunlit spaces, while the heavy-weight construction provides superior comfort underfoot, enhancing the living experience. Additionally, these carpets offer acoustic insulation, helping to absorb sound and create a quieter, more peaceful environment for residents to enjoy.
The engineered timber flooring provides a unique aesthetic appeal, with each plank showcasing natural variations that bring a luxurious feel to the homes. These timbers are installed with premium acoustic underlay, prioritizing the comfort of residents while enhancing the visual charm of the space.
Care Facility Flooring
The care facility within the village showcases exceptional flooring quality, featuring a thoughtfully curated blend of solution-dyed nylon and New Zealand wool loop pile carpets, tailored to each area’s specific needs. Solution-dyed nylon carpets are strategically placed in high-spill zones, ensuring durability and easy maintenance. Meanwhile, the luxurious loop pile wool carpets, such as the Godfrey Hirst Pebble Grid range, provide added comfort and warmth in communal areas like lounges. This combination not only enhances the visual appeal of these spaces but also creates a welcoming and cozy environment for residents.
