Editor’s Note I

have to admit, one of my favourite hobbies is visiting open homes. Sometimes it’s a house in my own neighbourhood. It seems sensible to keep track of the market, right? Or it may be a cute holiday home near a popular beach. We wander around and daydream about future long weekend getaways. Occasionally, I’ll come across a house for sale that was designed by a notable architect, or one with a stunning New Zealand art collection, or something that’s the exact mix of postmodern industrial that we might want to retire to one day. And in every one there’s always some nugget of joy to take away. If you’re reading this issue of abode I suspect you’re an enthusiast like me and love to learn about the details that go into making a house a home. In this issue, we have some beautiful feature homes for you to take a good look at, and there are some cool concepts to unpack. If you’re ever lucky enough to be invited to the bach at Pukehina Beach, for example, you’ll discover there’s no front door. There is a good reason, as you’ll see from page 46. And then there’s the family home in Cass Bay outside Lyttelton, page 38, that’s clad top to tail in copper that will weather and patina over the years. As the homeowner says: “You have to be a little bit crazy to get something that’s remarkable.” I’m so grateful to the architects, builders and designers who share their insights with us in every issue, and of course the homeowners who so kindly open their homes for us. Come on in.

Modest respite Tony Milne of Rough Milne Mitchell on a little design that means so much.

M A R C H /A P R I L 2 0 2 4

ome of you may be familiar with the American singer-songwriter John Cougar Mellencamp. With my formative years coinciding with his halcyon ones, I recall two of his anthems, “Hurts So Good” and “Jack & Diane”, from those times. However, in another of his songs, “Golden Gates,” Mellencamp sings about the importance of helping your neighbour. His main message is a lovely reminder that we all have something to offer, regardless of how big or small it may be. This resonates in so many ways. As a design practice we often find ourselves chasing the next big opportunity. I do find the rush of adrenaline associated with pitching for and then being involved in projects that may test us, scale and designwise, somewhat intoxicating. Every now and again a gentle reminder comes my way, an opportunity to reset and re-examine one’s priorities. Last year, we were incredibly lucky to be involved in the enhancement of a small backyard for clients, one of whom was facing adversity in the form of a terminal illness. Our brief was relatively simple. Can we design something that will transform the current backyard into a space where life can be enjoyed and a place of respite for the family. A little bit special, meaningful to only a few and something to treasure when time is precious.

TON Y M I L N E

Rough Milne Mitchell Landscape Architects

The ensuing design was modest (note, not the images shown), with elements of the current garden providing the bones on which the new design was structured. The garden was already bountiful in terms of vegetables and fruit, so this was a wonderful element to keep. Existing changes of level were utilised, and where possible, materials were upcycled. Hard landscape material that was not reused was given to our client’s friends. The winter toil of the landscape contractors meant the new paved court and small patch of lawn were ready to be used as the days began to lengthen. Then as the days warmed, the grey skies of winter surrendered to the blossom, bees and flowers of the garden. The backyard took on a new life, poignant in the situation. At the time of writing, it was just over a week ago my colleague Ruby and I visited our clients. The sun was radiant, the lawn verdant, the garden lovingly kept, the outdoor furniture casually arranged, suggesting recent use, and the raspberries flush with their second harvest. An absolute pleasure, and quite humbling it was, to listen as the summer enjoyment of the backyard was described to us. Plant unavailability meant there were a couple of small gaps in the garden to fill. While flattered by the strict adherence to our planting plan, we suggested options to fill

the gaps. This is one of the many nice things about these projects: they can evolve, and at times, a stray from the plan can render a far more interesting and personal result. This ranks as my favourite 2023 project and is a timely reminder of why I am a landscape architect. 03 366 3268 | rmmla.co.nz

NEED TO KNOW

orking with a real estate agent is a vital part of buying or selling property, and it’s important to approach this partnership thoughtfully. Start by researching agents thoroughly. Look for those with a strong track record, expertise in your area of the market, and positive client feedback. It’s wise to interview several agents to compare their strategies, experience and how well their personality aligns with yours. Once you’ve selected a few agents to meet with, ask them the right questions. Below are some “dos” and “don’ts” that will help you navigate this process.

Do • •

•

• •

Meet face to face: Meet with several agents in your home to understand their approach, expertise and personality fit. Ask the right questions: Inquire about their experience, strategy for your specific needs, communication style and references. Clarify communication preferences: Discuss how often you prefer to communicate and through what means (email, phone, text). Understand the agent’s role: Know what services they will provide, including open homes, negotiations and paperwork. Make sure you will not be passed over to their assistant once they have listed your home. Be open and honest: Clearly communicate your needs, marketing budget and any concerns you might have. Read and understand contracts: Before signing any agreement with an agent, thoroughly review the terms and conditions, including their commission fee and marketing fee.

Rachael Cone of Total Realty in Christchurch breaks down the ins and outs of working with a real estate agent. RACHA E L CON E Managing Director of Total Realty

Don’t rush the selection process: Take your time to find an agent you truly feel comfortable with. Avoid unrealistic expectations: Understand that the real estate market can be unpredictable, and not every desire may be feasible. Don’t withhold information: Failing to disclose important information can lead to issues later in the process. Avoid disappointment: Don’t feel pressured to agree to terms or make decisions that don’t ultimately align with your goals. Don’t ignore red flags: If an agent seems too pushy, uninformed or unresponsive, it might be best to look elsewhere.

Remember, a good real estate agent should not only help you find a buyer but also provide guidance, market insights and support throughout the process. At Total Realty we pride ourselves on making this process smooth, hassle-free and, best of all, affordable: “Sell with ease and save on fees.” 0800 663 737 | totalrealty.co.nz

A NEED TO VENT A quality ventilation system in your new build is a breath of fresh air, says Glenda Brown of eHaus.

M A R C H /A P R I L 2 0 2 4

very summer we want to open windows and doors to encourage air flow through the house – if we’re lucky on those hot, humid days to get a breeze. But without adequate shade, the sun and heat continue to pour in, and a breath of wind often brings allergens. In winter, we heat our houses (and pay to do so) yet 40 per cent of the heat can quickly disappear out the windows. Closing your curtains early in the evening helps keep in some heat as the sun goes down. Heating in Kiwi homes is often in living spaces, rather than bedrooms or hallways, so these areas stay cold with temperatures often falling below 18 degrees. The World Health Organisation says for comfortable sleeping, bedrooms should be between 18 and 22 degrees (or a minimum of 20 degrees for houses with young children, elderly or ill people). Another important aspect is what is going on behind the walls. Mould affects our health and unfortunately finds itself any comfortable space to grow with consistently cold temperatures. The solution to any of these issues in a home is an efficient ventilation system along

GLENDA BROWN eHaus

with adequate insulation, high-performing windows, and shading. Some might think having a house with a ventilation system is not warranted: it’s an extra expense. Why not continue to open windows and doors on a hot day, or put on a jumper when it’s cold? Thankfully we have come a long way since that kind of thinking. We can rely on solid data and information that tells us these standards are just not conducive to a healthy home environment. In the summer, you can certainly still open your windows and doors. But when it is so hot you don’t want to be outside, a ventilation system provides a comfortably cool environment with fresh air continuously circulating. The filtering system takes care of dust and pollens, keeping you allergy-free. In the winter, depending on your living style, a ventilation system may mean you won’t even need extra heating. At eHaus, this is our standard. We will never build a home without good thermally broken windows, substantial insulation and a ventilation system: the recipe for a warm, healthy and energy-efficient home that’s better for your wellbeing and kinder to your pocket. 0800 434 287 | ehaus.co.nz

eHaus case study

ŌAKURA HOUSE BY SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE AND EHAUS

A look inside a certified Passive House.

designHaus bespoke design team. All these obvious qualities, together with superb craftsmanship, ensured this stunning house won six 2021 House of the Year awards, including Top 100 selection. However, the testimony of the clients says much more. “We are very pleased with the new house. It is just as we had envisioned from your plans and the performance has been excellent. We have not needed to use any heating since the first weekend we moved in, and everyone who visits is very impressed as soon as they walk in with the warmth through the house. Vlada was fantastic to work with during the design and construction of our eHaus. We achieved exactly what we wanted based on our brief: a warm and comfortable home that is also stylish and modern. Vlada was responsive and accommodating of our requests and suggested several improvements and layout choices which have proven very insightful. We now have a comfortable and highperforming home that has matched the design quality and efficiency and has been recognised both by the Master Builders awards and the Passivhaus Institute with certification.” – Ryan. 0800 434 287 | ehaus.co.nz

ˉ he Oakura house embodies a winning formula: modern architecture, functional design and the highest level of energy efficiency. Despite the common prejudices that Passive Houses are often limited in terms of architectural expression and unfairly treated as boring, the opposite is demonstrated with this design. The journey for this project started when the clients were living overseas so the design process was conducted remotely. Modern architectural software can now create full 3D views of the design set into the local landscape. This really helped with visualisation and the confidence to know that the design ticked all the boxes before construction started. Also a significant asset was having the local eHaus construction team, Steve and Susie Hofmans, available to contribute knowledge and insight from the first visit to site. Information on costs, material selections and high-performance details from the construction team are included as an integral part of each design process. Steve and Susie worked closely with Vlada Acimovic of Sustainable Architecture, which is part of the eHaus

Home-grown office The sharp classic lines of the Sorrento Desk from One World Collection make a strong statement against the soft shades of Resene Contented and Resene Otter in a garden-inspired office. Home offices don’t need to be bland. We’re more likely to get work done in a space that feels welcoming and personal. This calm, uncluttered office in the soft neutral pink of Resene Contented is complemented by the earth-toned neutral of Resene Otter for a relaxed and classic space. The white desk is a clear focal point. Its crisp colour cuts through the neutral backdrop to invite you to get some work done. The sharp edges are softened by the blush linen chair and hydrangeas. These items connect with accessories in white, with touches of gold for an enriching contrast.

CLASSIC SILHOUETTE The Sorrento desk is the perfect

combination of classic and contemporary – ideal for the home office. It offers plenty of storage and the solid back hides cables from imposing on your space. PLUSH PINK This blush linen chair is a versatile design

with a classic appeal. A gently sloping back for comfort, finished with beautiful button tufting. Upholstered in Limited Edition Linen Blush, the timeless design works with a range of table styles. SOFT LINES The Boyd Rug is a mix of classic and

contemporary design. The muted colour palette mixed with the graphic tile create the perfect amount of interest. The pattern in the rug echoes the lines on the desk drawers. GARDEN Accessories in this look make a gentle nod to

the garden with flowers and fruit softening the sharp lines of the desk and the hourglass echoing the curves. The paper bag-style ceramic vase brings an organic texture to the space.

The art of relaxation The lines between furniture and art blur with this statement piece from NextDore. The Qeeboo Primitive Chair features soft green fabric on a strong geometric form with wall arch in Resene Contour and darker cocooning edge in Resene Rewilding. A breakout space can be added onto the end of a main living area, dining area or even a kids’ playroom. Let the room and needs of your household inform the style of your breakout space. Here the block-like form of the statement chair has inspired a fun living zone for all ages.

M A R C H /A P R I L 2 0 2 4

The dark natural green of the rug connects to Resene Rewilding, creating a cocooning effect with the statement piece highlighted by the arch in Resene Contour. Playful accessories from Qeeboo complete the look, including a touch of gold to catch the light.

Styling tip Choose a statement chair or two to break away from your main living space. Create a zone by painting the wall in two tonal shades to match your statement furniture. Several shades of the same colour are easy on the eye but make sure you have no more than three different colours of accessories for a cohesive look.

THE BLOCK The playful geometry of the Primitive chair evokes the paradox between the movements of the 20th century, from cubism to abstract art. The sharp angles are softened by rounded accessories and an arch wall motif. MING THING This vase-shaped design can function as a

stool or a table. Honouring one of the last great ancient Chinese dynasties, Ming is the result of Studio Job’s rereading of the typical Chinese porcelain vase. ALL EARS The green Rabbit Baby Chair was conceived for

children’s fun, and the black doorstopper rabbit doubles as a stylish accessory. GOLDEN BOY Golden Brothers are a family of lamp characters, reflecting a soft light on their body, enhancing the plasticity and fluidity of their silhouette in different postures. This rechargeable battery-operated LED lamp is equipped with a soft touch switch. GROUNDED GREEN The rich texture of this deep olive rug brings a taste of nostalgia. Inspired by nature and made from 100 per cent New Zealand wool.
