Editor’s Note I

live in an old house. It was built in 1907, and I love its history. I welcome guests with tales of the original owners and their 10 children – long before the house saw a 1960s extension and a 1980s attic conversion. We’re grateful that a sturdy kauri villa is mostly amenable to being tinkered with. Along the way someone added a garage and insulated the house. We updated the bathrooms and put in a pool. It’s been painted in wild and not-so-wild colours, inside and out, for decades. Despite everything, it still looks much like it does in historic photos. Three houses in this issue have been renovated, some much more extensively than mine. Tim Dorrington of Dorrington Atcheson Architects has in fact designed renovations three times for the same 1940s house, as you’ll see on page 82. Respectfully modifying older homes is a responsibility he says: “But you also can’t limit the way you live your life.” Of course, you can always build new. Every detail could be exactly as you want it, without inheriting the choices of those who have been before. There are some stunning new builds in these pages, too. Building or renovating, either way it’s all about looking to the future in your ideal home. So, it’s appropriate that in this issue we also have our Future Proof special feature. Experts in home and living tell us about innovations and developments, from real estate to structural engineering. Check it out from page 23. Here’s to moving forwards. Happy 2024 everyone.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE DAISIES GONE?

TONY MI L NE

Rough Milne Mitchell Landscape Architects

ellis perennis, a nuisance for those who rely on pasture for a living and for those seeking the perfect lawn. But for my colleague, Nikki, it’s a friendly marker of summer, the abundance of which she is missing. You may be familiar with Bellis perennis, the common daisy. Our family is, as it seems to thrive in our lawn, although I am slightly embellishing our patch of grass by referring to it as lawn. A rosette of daintiness, which heralds the arrival of dawn by opening its little white petals to reveal a cheery yellow head. At day’s end, its petals close, rescinding to the night. Personally, I don’t mind a daisy or two in my lawn. Entrenched amongst the browntop, fescue and rye, not only does it contribute to the diversity of our sward, it is also edible. Try adding its leaves, high in iron and vitamin K, and flowers to a salad or using its flowers in tea. A forager’s dream. Nikki was lamenting the seeming paucity, relative to her childhood, of little Bellis growing within the grass berms, parks ˉ and open spaces of Otautahi Christchurch today. Recalling with fondness her childhood days of making daisy chains and, I imagine, hunting for four-leaf clover, too. The joy in the discovery, and the simplicity of it. Not unlike sliding down a hill with bottoms on cardboard or running side by side down sand dunes playing a game we called stockies, with the aim being to knock each other over. These were the days of summer camping, games played hour after hour, often only ending through exhaustion, sometimes tears, or the call that tea was ready in the camp compound we’d created with the families we holidayed with. At the time we thought this was the best play. Often the best play is the explorative and imaginative play. Perhaps daisy chains are still made, and that is why Nikki can’t find them growing anywhere. They have all been picked. While too simple an answer, it would be quite joyous to think. Through research we do know, though, that physically and cognitively, play is vital for the development of our children. There is no doubt about this. Obviously, our environment as a stimulus, plays an important role for play, too. Over the past few years, children’s play has been elevated to multi-sensory designed environments. Destination playgrounds, coffee too. This is fantastic, but let us not forget the humble Bellis perennis. The more we can encourage play through discovery and made-up games, and the more we let our children run through the long grass, graze their knees and learn to tie knots, the better. Let’s foster that, one daisy chain at a time. 03 366 3268 | rmmla.co.nz

Celeste Benefield of Wanaka Interiors takes us through the process of engaging an interior designer.

C E L EST E B E N EF I EL D Wanaka Interiors

t Wanaka Interiors, we believe in limitless design possibilities. Whether it’s bringing your existing vision to life or helping you create a new one for your home, rental property or commercial space, we focus on enhancing spaces with beautiful textures and colours through furnishings, finishes and accessories. Driven by creative passion and curiosity, we aim to craft homes and spaces that leave an enduring impression. We value lasting relationships with our clients, understanding that their happiness is the key measure of our success. As experts in our field, we specialise in designing homes that you’ll love creating memories in. Our services cover a range of needs, from simple design advice to full-service interior design. We strive to make the design process easy and enjoyable, without any unnecessary complications and headaches. A design consultation is for when you don’t need a full-service interior design. Maybe you want an expert’s opinion on pieces, placement or ideas you have for your home. During this two-hour consultation we’ll go over your design priorities and then build a plan to bring those priorities to life. This consultation package takes place in your home with me and another designer from our team. A full-service design is for when you’re building a new architectural home, looking to remodel one room, or a few, or the whole house. We manage all steps of the design process for you. More than that, we’ll keep you informed along the way. So how does it work? The initial part of the process involves a video call and an initial visit. We start with a free 30-minute video call to get to know each other, give you a look at how we work, and talk over project scope, budget and potential timelines. Then we’ll meet you in person at your home or on your site. We can discuss all the ideas and spaces you want to create or transform and we’ll go over any additional questions and details. After that initial visit we’ll send you a letter of engagement detailing the scope of your project, services required and fees. Then comes the fun part. The process starts when we send you a design questionnaire and look at your Pinterest board. We spend time getting to know you as people: how you live, how you use your home, your pet peeves. That way we can design clever spaces in your home that work for you. We’ll have a design concept meeting to go over aesthetic direction, colour palette and floor plan options before getting into materials and furniture selections. Together we’ll select finishes, furnishings, accessories and appliances. Then, the hard work begins for us, pulling your dream home together. 03 443 9339 | wanakainteriors.com

The Jetty House This high-performance Lake Taupō holiday home with high-end style is an excellent case study for eHaus, says Jon Iliffe.

J ON ILIFF E

J A N U A R Y/ F E B R U A R Y 2 0 2 4

eHaus

ania and Hayden Monk embarked on a journey to build their dream holiday home overlooking Lake Taupō and the Kinloch golf course. Despite having never built before, they were determined to create a unique, eco-friendly retreat. Their quest for a sustainable design led them to the eHaus concept, which focuses on passive house energy modelling to deliver energy-efficient, comfortable homes. The result of their vision is The Jetty House, a serene and unobtrusive structure that seamlessly blends with the natural landscape. Its design maximises the breathtaking views of Lake Taupō while prioritising sustainability. The Monks had clear requirements for their home: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a communal area and ample space for 8-10 guests.

The location posed challenges due to Kinloch’s extreme climate, which swings between hot summers and cold winters. Tania and Hayden wanted a warm, energyefficient home that wouldn’t overheat in the summer. In collaboration with eHaus Taupō, architecture practice First Light Studio crafted a bespoke 178sqm home with thoughtful design details, such as direct spa access to the bathroom. eHaus’s approach to design integrates thermal modelling to ensure energy efficiency and comfort. The western lake view was enticing, so a westerly picture window was cleverly placed to offer stunning vistas from the entrance, hallway and living space without leading to overheating. Building The Jetty House in 2021 presented challenges due to Covid-19 lockdowns, material shortages and price

fluctuations. The eHaus team worked with the Monks to mitigate these issues and secure necessary materials, ensuring the project proceeded on schedule. The end result left Tania and Hayden thrilled with their holiday home, which also serves as a short-term rental property. Guests have praised the luxury feel, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms. In the first 12 months since its completion, The Jetty House has already spared the planet from an estimated 2914 kilograms of carbon emissions from heating alone. The Jetty House truly embodies a significant commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, as well as high-end style and liveability.

Outdoor Edit abode stylists curate the latest colours, furniture and accessories for the summer season. CREATIVE DIRECTION AND PHOTOGRAPHY CHARLIE ROSE JACKSON STYLING AND WORDS SHELLEY SWEENEY

Coastal corner This breezy, coastal look was inspired by the resort-style of the Wisteria Cape Town Lounge Chair from Frobisher. The sandy tones of this hand-woven piece strike a summery pose against the pale sky blue of Resene Comfortably Numb and palm tree motif in Resene Athena. This coastal setting contrasts the light blue of Resene Comfortably Numb with sandy tones in the chair and palm tree. If you want to make an impact with the walls but feel unsure about wallpaper, try painting a line motif like this palm tree in Resene Athena to provide a focal point. For a minimal coastal look, swap out the light blue walls for white or beige. Choose accessories in muted natural colours from sage greens to greys, soft browns, or flaxen tones. The darkest shade in the coastal palette is navy blue, and bright white accessories bring a pop of contrast. Use natural colours and fibres where possible, such as linen cushions, wool or jute rugs and wooden side tables. Brass decorative pieces add a touch of sun when they catch the light.

CASUAL LUXURY The Cape Town Lounge Chair from Frobisher brings an understated elegance to any space. Handcrafted from old-growth plantation-sourced rattan. Finished by hand, this beautifully made piece is ethically manufactured, sourced and delivered. ADORNED OAK The Cunard Side Table is a quality handcrafted piece from American oak with solid brass hardware and the enduring appeal of an antique for a classic coastal look. FINE DESIGN This Pleated Two-Tier Vase is crafted from

fine bone china in a timeless design, providing a pop of bright white to this summery scheme.

Creating a nook is a crafty way to make the most of your space. A nook can be positioned to enjoy a favourite view or give purpose to an unused part of any room or open plan space. Here, the neutral wall in Resene Tua Tua enjoys a warm, welcoming arch in the cinnamon tone of Resene Amaranth with a paprika brown circle motif in Resene Sante Fe. This mural marks a distinct zone furnished for entertaining in relaxed luxury with rattan furniture from Marmaduke Shoppe. The patterned Moroccan rug provides the colour inspiration for the wall design. This spiced palette is complemented by earthenware and accessories to reflect the heat of long summer afternoons.

Zen terrace The clean lines and mid-century silhouettes of the Milan Chair and Tully Café Table from nood are a natural fit for the Matisse-inspired leaf design in Resene Wabi Sabi and wall in Resene Merino. From small terraces to spacious decks, it’s fun to have a cosy summer spot to snack and imbibe. The muted grey green of Resene Wabi Sabi creates a calming outdoor space. The curved lines of the Matisseinspired leaf pattern can be drawn onto the wall before painting and tailored to suit. The ever-popular Resene Merino provides a warm, oaty white base. For uncovered spaces, these stunning, hardwearing stackable Milan chairs from nood are a beautiful combination with the rust-resistant powder-coated Tully Café table. Accessories in green, mustard and white bring the look together with a textural jute rug.
