Our new cover: An Auckland home by Athfield Architects

Our new issue is out, and should be on newsstands around the country today. It features a photograph by Simon Wilson of an Auckland home by Athfield Architects. The shot was styled by Amelia Holmes (and includes a 'Husk' chair by Patricia Urquiola for B&B Italia from Matisse, rugs from Studio Italia, a cushion and cloche from Everyday Needs and bookshelves from Studio Italia). 

Pop out and pick up your copy today - we hope you enjoy it. 

 

Our new look

Those of you who haven't picked up our latest issue yet may not know that we've undergone a bit of a redesign, courtesy of the lovely team at Inhouse Design. We've put some of the opening spreads from the features in this issue below as a tease. The first is a story about the artist Andrew Barber, with photography taken at his Auckland studio by Jeremy Toth.

On the western shores of Lake Taupo is this bach, a former dental clinic sensitively adapted by architects Rick Pearson and Briar Green, and photographed by Simon Wilson.

Some people have been asking, what's the difference? Good point, as we have opened stories with two full-page images many times in the past. The difference on these pages is our new fonts, but in the body of the magazine we also have a new five-column grid (the underlying organisational structure for the layout), as well as different treatments of small devices like bylines and picture captions. Not enormous changes, and the intention was for it to be evolutionary, rather than revolutionary - so if you haven't noticed, that's OK!
