At Home : A Century of New Zealand Design order quantity

NZ$ 52.00 each
Paperback
Author: Douglas Lloyd Jenkins
Published by: Godwit
In Stock: 2
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.

Peter Finlay describes life with schizophrenia in this unflinching and funny memoir. Currently a fifty-two year old university student, he tells the story of what he's endured, lost and overcome.

In a seclusion room at Lake Alice Psychiatric Hospital, Peter writes, My mind was independent of my surroundings. It raced, it dived, it ducked, it soared. Full of wild imaginings of world power, of super intelligence, of supreme goodness, of reward. Twice someone poked a cigarette into the room, through little holes in the window… although I didn’t smoke, I took these as offerings, portents, of what was to come.

Twenty years ago, Peter Finlay spent time at Lake Alice, the psychiatric institution. Shortly after leaving, he wrote the story of his hospitalization and his re-entry to civilian life. There’s a police beating, medication haze, nefarious inpatient characters, strange thought-processes, and through it all, the calm voice ... more

Architecture Uncooked : An architect looks around New Zealand holiday houses order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 90.00 each
Hardback
Author: Pip Cheshire & Patrick Reynolds
Published by: Godwit
In Stock: 1
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.

Finalist in the Illustrated Non-Fiction category.

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.

New Dreamland : Writing New Zealand Architecture order quantity

Paperback
Author: Douglas Lloyd Jenkins
Published by: Godwit

Douglas Lloyd Jenkins brings together in one volume a selection of key essays (28 in total) that have shaped 20th century New Zealand architecture and architectural thinking. The essays have traditionally appeared in journals and magazines, but with an increasing popular and scholarly interest in NZ architecural history, particularly as it pertains to the 20th century, there is considerable renewed interest in these difficult-to-locate works. Each decade is well represented, particularly the 1940s and 1950s with the influences of the Central European refugees such as Plischke, Porsolt, Kulka and Cacala and the renowned Group Architects, and the 1970s with the innovative philosophies of Peter Beaven, Miles Warren, Chris Brooke-White and David Mitchell, both in the areas of residential and commercial architecture.

This is that rare book – combining the best of New Zealand’s residential architecture together with photographs of some of our most spectacular and unique landscapes.
The inspiration for the designs that are featured in the book have been largely informed by the nature of the environment, whether it’s our rugged West Coast, the stark tussock country of Central Otago, our southern lakes and mountains or outlying islands.
Twenty-two of our top architects, many of them award-winners, discuss what drove their design and the factors they took into consideration concerning site, materials and approach. The designs they came up with are a unique and sympathetic response to the different environments.
Each architectural project is introduced by a panoramic landscape photo of the area with text describing the region and stunning photos of the house. These convey the look as well as the feel of the design. Floor plans of each project are ... more

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.
