Work

Ka hoki ki te whare huri ai e! • Rameka Alexander-Tu’inukuafe (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Rēhia, Ngāi Tāwake ki te Tuawhenua) and Saul Roberts (Waiohua, Waikato Tainui) take a uniquely Māori view in their exploration of RCG’s Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa in Rotorua.

Resonating to different frequencies • Guy Marriage considers the Herculean task undertaken by Architecture + in the design and restoration of five buildings on Wellington’s busiest intersection at 8 Willis Street.

The resilience of the diagram • Nick Roberts explores the design evolution of Monk Mackenzie’s Edition apartments in Parnell – from the promise of the building’s early renderings to its nuanced layers of careful composition and the spare elegance of its interiors by Bureaux.

Energy at the cellar door • Amanda Harkness visits The Runholder on the outskirts of Martinborough, where Nott Architects has created a new home for Te Kairanga and two of its sister brands.
