We're delighted to be the lead sponsor of Cape to Bluff Vol. 2, the new book by Simon Devitt and Andrea Stevens.

Traversing Aotearoa from north to south, it composes a unique portrait of residential architecture across the islands. A sense of place lies at the core of the curatorial vision, 30 exceptional homes that respond to and are in harmony with the land, its forms, its climate, its people.

Landscapes range from alpine to coast, rural to city, with architects and designers responding in both poetic and pragmatic ways. A carefully crafted book, and an exclusive window into some of the most interesting, ideas-driven residential projects of recent years.

At your local bookseller from June.

Design Spotlight: Totara Renovation by

"This project was to renovate and extend a 1930's brick bungalow to create more space for a growing family.

The extension is located on a small flat area to the south of the existing house, with the ceiling pitched up to a high north facing window, ensuring this new kitchen and dining space is sunny and light filled. This bright open plan space contrasts to the more contained and moody interiors of the existing house.

The complexity of changing the brick internal walls in the existing house meant that layout changes were minimised, with small alterations making possible an additional bedroom and a new ensuite.

Consistent materials and colours link the existing and new parts of the house - with a new brick for the extension complementing the old, timber cabinetry and joinery, and strong colours throughout."
