Part two from our recent Queenstown furniture install.

A soft palette of greens and natural tones set against oak, travertine and schist, with curved forms used throughout to soften this linear house.

The custom designed rug carries the wattle flower across the living room floor, a sweet nod to where our Brisbane-based clients are from in a house that is unmistakably Central Otago.

We’re incredibly honoured to have the Living House featured in Cape to Bluff Vol. 2, a stunning celebration of New Zealand’s contemporary residential architecture.

Through the lens of photographer Simon Devitt, the book showcases 30 remarkable homes from across Aotearoa, capturing how architecture responds to our diverse landscapes, climates and ways of living.

Cape to Bluff Vol. 2 celebrates a new generation of architecture that is thoughtful, sustainable and deeply connected to place.

It is a privilege for Living House to be included amongst such inspiring projects ✨

Manukard Gārd by @masonandwalesarchitects is a home where the visible material story is only part of the picture.

The exterior brings together stone, timber, copper, glass and metal - a rich, grounded palette that gives the home its quiet permanence. Behind it are over 16,500 Viblock 20 Series structural concrete blocks: the unseen backbone supporting thermal mass, acoustic comfort, durability and long-term performance.

Not always photographed. Always working.

Last week, VidaSpace had the honour of hosting the Auckland launch of Cape to Bluff Vol. 2 and the privilege of standing as its lead sponsor.⁠
⁠
The second volume in Simon Devitt and Andrea Stevens' celebrated series, the book traverses Aotearoa from north to south, bringing together thirty exceptional homes that respond to the New Zealand landscape in both poetic and pragmatic ways. From alpine to coast, rural to city, it's a publication that takes this country's residential architecture seriously, and documents it with the care it deserves.⁠
⁠
The evening itself was something special. Our showroom filled with architects, designers, makers, collaborators, and the friends and family behind the book, all gathered to celebrate a publication that felt genuinely meaningful to everyone in the room. Hearing Simon and Andrea speak to the vision behind the work was a highlight, and the energy throughout the night reflected just how much this project means to the people who made it.⁠

On the eve of the launch of our new book Cape to Bluff Vol 2

Trust.

I’ve been thinking about trust a lot lately.

We often celebrate creativity through outcomes.

The photograph.

The building.

The exhibition.

The book.

But I’ve come to believe that the artistry isn’t only in the finished work. The artistry is in everything that precedes it.

The conversations.

The revisions.

The uncertainty.

The persistence.

The patience.

And perhaps most importantly, the trust.

Cape to Bluff Volume Two began long before a camera was unpacked. It began with architects trusting ideas, clients trusting architects, builders trusting drawings, families trusting places they couldn’t yet fully imagine, sponsors trusting the project, and eventually, someone trusting me.

We live in a moment where authenticity feels increasingly complicated. Images can be generated. Reality can be manipulated. The distance between what is real and what appears real seems to be growing every day.

Perhaps that’s one reason architecture continues to fascinate me.

Architecture remains stubbornly real.

A building exists in a particular place, under a particular sky, in a particular wind.

You can walk through it.

Touch it.

Occupy it.

And books are real too.

They have weight.

They take up space.

They ask us to slow down.

The photographs in this book are not architecture. They are simply my attempt to translate one experience into another.

A photograph is always a position.

A perspective.

A point of view.

Not the truth, but an honest encounter with it.

Thank you to everyone who made this book possible.

Trust is the foundation beneath every creative act.

You rarely see it, but without it nothing stands.

One more day to get your name in the draw.

We’re giving away three copies of Cape to Bluff Vol. 2 — a new book celebrating residential architecture from across Aotearoa by @simondevitt_photographer and Andrea Stevens of @folio__communications.

Among the homes featured is Manukard Gārd by @masonandwalesarchitects — one of three Viblock projects included in the book.

Set into the Central Otago landscape, the project speaks to material, permanence and a deep sense of place. The kind of architecture we’re always proud to play a small part in.

Entries close tonight at midnight. Winners will be contacted tomorrow, 11 June.
