Clyde Crib

Clyde Crib

Earnscleugh, Clyde

Clyde Crib is situated in Picnic Creek, a rural-residential subdivision on a terrace overlooking the Clutha River in the small Central Otago township of Clyde. 

Clyde Crib is a contemporary take on early Central Otago miners’ huts and agrarian farm buildings.

“Take a moment to admire the timber work and you’ll recognise the attention to detail required to build this immaculate home. The carpenters worked with cedar in different sizes and colours across this expansive home, which demanded fine detailing. Used in the interior and cladding, timber serves to unify the design and seamlessly unites indoors and outdoors. Raking ceilings, over-height glass and internal doors, and the use of natural materials achieve a rustic look in keeping with the setting.

Outdoor and indoor fires are finished in blackened rolled steel, creating visual impact. The same finish has been used to wrap kitchen cupboards, which demonstrates the joiner’s fine workmanship. While the 300sqm home isn’t a shy footprint in the landscape, the elegant design ensures a discreet presence. With five bedrooms and three bathrooms, there’s comfort for residents and house guests. The well-planned outdoor entertaining connects to the landscaping and mountain views beyond.”
