Biophilic surrealism • Naumi Hotels’ latest offering in Queenstown, Central Private Hotel, was named the New Zealand Grand Prix Winner in the 2021 Dulux Colour Awards for its playfully articulated use of colour. We spoke to interior designer and founder of Wanaka-based studio Undercurrent, Olivia Macfarlane, about the immersive interiors.

City and sea

In Detail • A deeper dive in to the interior and architectural products specified by designers in this issue of HOME

Golden glow • This Auckland home is made up of a trio of individual but allied cubic forms using terracotta, corrugate, and a polycarbonate that positively glows in the dark like an urban lantern.

Two bricks together • On a prominent corner site in central Christchurch, a cuboid brick house bridges the divide between residential and commercial, embodying a considered interplay of international influences from the iconic terrace houses of Sydney’s inner east to the nuances of early European modernism.

Street life • On a steep, narrow site in Wellington, this family home cascades down over various levels, connected by a central spine to the north.

Living sculpture • Extending out around a Zen garden, this reinterpreted Freemans Bay villa is at once a gallery and urban family home.

Much aroha • New Zealand’s second apartment complex to have ever achieved the top Homestar rating is an urban experiment focused on people and their place in the land, rather than strictly about architectural form.

Tomorrow’s colour

A home’s perfect temperature • Fujitsu General’s anywAiR® technology allows for a high level of comfort and an impressive amount of control over how individual rooms in the house feel. We find out more.
