Here 35

Issue 35 features five houses built with connectuon and comfort in mind – these are houses for living in, and living in well. ⁠
⁠
On the cover, the renovation of a 1980s pole house by SGA on on Waiheke Island keeps everything the owners loved about the place, but refines and rationalises its deeply quirky angles. ⁠
⁠
Elsewhere, Studio 2 Arcjhitects design a low-slung retreat around notions of warmth and togetherness in Matakana, while Pac Studio peels back the layers of a heritage villa in Epsom, uncovering past lives and bringing a fresh perspective. In Paekākāriki, meanwhile, William Giesen creates a flexible space for business and pleasure at the bottom of his garden. And in Sandringham, Tāmaki Makaurau, an original 1970s townhouse is restored to its original spirit. ⁠
⁠
But wait! There's more! ⁠
⁠
We also check out Popina, a beautiful new restaurant in Central Otago by Guy Tarrant Architects, while Michael Gilling of Xylo woodcraft designs a chair designed around daily rituals. We also drop by the atelier and head office of Kowtow, designed by Makers of Architecture, and we profile arts laureate Cheryl Lucas
