Suspended in space: Spectacular Queenstown cliffhanger rivals view
Stunning Queenstown 'pod house' has a 9m cantilever

AI summary
This spectacular Queenstown "pod house," designed by structural engineer Warrick Weber, features a dramatic 9m cantilever that creates a feeling of floating above the town with stunning views of The Remarkables.
Named Ebony and Ivory, the home's two pods separate the living area from the main bedroom suite. It is a Stratum in Freehold title, meaning the owner is responsible for their own insurance and there are no body corporate levies, offering unique ownership benefits.
