The Villa : From Heritage to Contemporary
order quantity
NZ$ 75.00 each
Hardback
Author:
Patrick Reynolds, Jeremy Salmond & Jeremy Hansen (photography Patrick Reynolds)
Published by:
Godwit
Despite the interest in contemporary architecture it's a fact that more people in inner-city suburbs throughout New Zealand end up living in a villa than a house of any other architectural style. Everyone at some stage finds themselves doing some renovation work, and that has tended in recent years to revolve around "blowing out the back". In recent years architects have come up with far more interesting solutions to turn villas into a workable house for 21st century living. This book looks at around 25 of those solutions as well as at villas that have remained untouched over the years and at villas that are down on their uppers, including a spectacular and infamous student flat. Photographed by Patrick Reynolds, the text on each house is written by Home NZ editor Jeremy Hansen. In addition the book kicks off with a substantial survey of villa architecture by leading heritage architect Jeremy Salmond, whose late 1980s book on old New ...

Deidre Brown

Raupo Pub. NZ (ex-Reed)
A landmark achievement in New Zealand history,
Maori Architecture
charts, for the first time, the genesis and form of indigenous buildings in Aotearoa New Zealand.
It explores the vast array of Maori-designed structures and spaces - how they evolved over time, and how they tell the story of an ever-changing people. Throughout this captivating story, the book looks at facets of early Polynesian settlement, the influence of Christian and western technology, the buildings of religio-political movements such as Ringatu, Parihaka and Ratana, post-war urban migration, and contemporary architecture.
Deidre Brown's absorbing, informed and sometimes controversial text is lavishly illustrated with over 130 photos and artworks - all providing a long-overdue and fascinating survey of an important aspect of New Zealand culture and history.

At Home : A guide to creating your perfect home (The Press)

NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author:
David Killick & The Press
Published by:
Random House New Zealand Ltd
This book is a guide to creating your perfect home. It is an extension of some of the feature articles published in 'at home' - the popular monthly supplement to The Press in Christchurch. The book is in two parts. Part One covers the main points to consider before tackling a major project in the home. It starts with the dream itself: how do you choose what kind of home you really want? Following chapters examine problems facing New Zealand householders today, for example the need for more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly homes. Then the book looks at the basics of how to renovate an existing home for maximum value, and goes through the house room by room: kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms are discussed. Landscaping and garden design, choosing art and furniture, and living with new technology are all covered too, in a logical and straightforward manner.

Baches and Cribs : A pictorial journey through New Zealand's favourite holiday places

NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Jeff Grigor
Published by:
Penguin Books (N.Z.) Ltd.
Fishing shacks at river mouths, beloved family hideaways at the beach or on a remote rocky shore, follies perched precariously on cliff edges, converted railway carriages, mountain huts above the snowline...The Kiwi bach or crib is likely to be a very long way from SH1, have a fantastic view, perhaps not even have electricity - and be regarded as paradise by generations of a New Zealand family. This colourful book is made up of photographs of their favourite baches and cribs supplied by ordinary New Zealanders. Often under threat from local councils and spiralling land values, some of these baches and cribs are now being torn down. This book is thus an invaluable record of an iconic New Zealand way of life.

Architecture Uncooked : An architect looks around New Zealand holiday houses

NZ$ 90.00 each
Hardback
Author:
Pip Cheshire & Patrick Reynolds
Published by:
Godwit
So much has been written about that national treasure, the traditional Kiwi bach. Here's a book that approaches the subject in a fresh and unique way. Pip Cheshire, a former partner in Jasmax and now an architect with his own highly regarded practice, has designed some of New Zealand's most significant public and private buildings. In this book he partners with leading architectural photographer Patrick Reynolds to visit seven holiday houses that represent bach living and bach architecture. The dwellings range from an isolated mountain bach in the South Island to a new small house in Northland. Each house and its hinterland is lovingly and expertly photographed by Patrick Reynolds so the reader feels as though they are really standing there on site. Lyrical and lovely, the text still gets to grips with the issues facing baches in this era of soaring coastal property prices, building consents and look-at-me aspiration.

At Home : A Century of New Zealand Design
order quantity
NZ$ 70.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Douglas Lloyd Jenkins
Published by:
Godwit
Taking the first decade of the twentieth century as its starting point, At Home joins the story of the New Zealand house just at the point when its inhabitants begin to ask whether a distinctive, uniquely New Zealand house might be possible. It then charts the way in which imported movements, fashions and styles in twentieth-century architecture and design were adopted, or adapted, by New Zealanders to create a house environment whether international in its style or an attempt at something more distinctly local. At Home goes behind the scenes of architectural history to look at the way 20th century New Zealanders lived in environments created for them by architects, designers and craftspeople united in the pursuit of the contemporary New Zealand home.
