EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE
B
eing judged favourably by your peers not only gives you a boost in pride for your work and an enormous sense of achievement, it also reflects that the business you are involved with is an exemplar in the field. And so, since returning from the annual NZCNA (New Zealand Community Newspaper Awards) ceremony held in Queenstown recently, laden with three fabulous trophies, we have had a very happy, proud office here at Metropol. Metropol has been a consistent award winner since entering the Awards in 2009, and recognises that presenting work to be judged by experts in the media print field provides valuable insight into how we are performing nationwide. Scooping three awards was exceptional recognition, particularly for a single masthead. But it's not all about us. In this issue the Canterbury Architecture Awards feature on pages 57-59. Judges said there is reason for optimism in the rebuild and indeed, when you take a look at the award-winning designs and restorations, we, as a city, have plenty to be proud about, and clearly boast some of the finest architects in the country. We wish them all well when they have their national awards ceremony in November this year. Also in this issue is the extraordinary tale of Christchurch's hair gypsy Jerome Wiersma who has returned from 365 days travelling in some of the remotest parts of the world, cutting hair to raise money for charity Habitat for Humanity (pages 6 & 7). As we are now officially in winter, our fashion section this issue has a welcome focus on garments to keep out the chill – leather, knits, coats and perfect pieces to layer up in all feature strongly. After selecting your new coat, take a browse through our new Recreation section on pages 38-41 – you'll find plenty of inspiration to get you off the couch and out enjoying the fresh winter air. Finally, when you've worked up an appetite check out our cuisine section where you'll be tempted to enjoy some of the city's finest eateries and enjoy an evening out with friends.

Q & A
SAM
JEROME WIERSMA
Christchurch hairdresser Jerome Wiersma has recently returned from a year travelling the world with little more than his scissors and a comb. Known as the Hair Gypsy365, Jerome, who was working at Vida Hair on Manchester Street, decided to hit the road for 365 days with a mission of raising money for Habitat for Humanity to assist with the 21 homes they are building here. Jerome offered haircuts for free, or a donation to his cause, all over the world, I caught up with Jerome to find out a little more about his generous mission to help others…
6 June 4, 2015 Metropol
What inspired you to set out on your year’s journey as Hair Gypsy to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity? I realised I had got to an age where I needed to take the opportunity to go and see what else the world had to offer. Two weeks before leaving my father asked, “So what sort of work are you going to do while you are away?” I decided it would be nice to take my scissors with me and see where they would lead me, after all Dad had always said “it doesn’t matter where you go in the world there is always someone who needs a haircut”. So I took this mind-set on and made it my mission to share with as many people as I could, and to help some others who are doing some outstanding work already, that being Habitat for Humanity.
Where did your travels take you? I was fortunate to spend three-and-a-half months in South America, with two weeks in Argentina and Uruguay followed by a month in Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. From there I went to New York and Chicago for two weeks, on to Europe through Iceland for a few days, then the Netherlands, France, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania. Back to the UK and to London for a week, then Spain and Morocco, before starting the journey towards home where I spent two weeks in Nepal and then a month in India, and finally five days in Brisbane, Australia. How many haircuts did you do? In total I did 392 haircuts.
Where were three of your most unusual haircut locations? Machu Picchu, The Taj Mahal and Times Square, all because legally I wasn’t really allowed to cut hair there but I really wanted the photos!
“
I cut CEOs’ hair, and I cut homeless glue sniffers’ hair. They are all people and I feel we can learn something from everyone.
I see you made it on to TV in South America; what kind of response did you get from most people/countries? Yes believe it or not, they picked up the story on National TV in Brazil it was a bit of a laugh and pretty embarrassing seeing yourself talking and doing your thing on TV, but it was really nice for Habitat for Humanity to gain the exposure. Was language a difficulty? Yes, right from day one when I arrived in Argentina. I realised how ignorant I was to be going travelling around the world and initially thinking “oh well I’m sure everyone speaks English”. I was wrong and this has spurred me into action to continue learning Spanish and one day I’d love to learn some Te Reo! What were most of your ‘clients’ like and did your impromptu cutting always draw a crowd? I was fortunate to have a good mix of clients from all over the world. Staying in Backpackers meant I could always find another traveller who was keen, but on the streets it wasn’t always easy. But hey I cut CEOs’ hair, and I cut homeless glue sniffers’ hair. They are all people and I feel we can learn something from everyone. Where was your favourite location? I loved Bolivia, and felt right at home in Copacabana on Lake Titicaca, I cut hair in the Bull Ring, down by the lake, also on Isla du Sol, Island of the Sun. But there was nothing like the feeling of being in the sacred valley, two days into the Machu Picchu Trek, the eeriness, calm and peacefulness was something tranquil that also raised the hairs on the back of my neck.
What’s it like being back in Christchurch after your year’s sojourn? It feels like a dream! After everywhere I have been I feel so fortunate to call Christchurch, New Zealand home. Will you be hairdressing again in Christchurch soon? I sure will be! Running around the streets on my weekends giving free haircuts! Check out my blog Hairgypsy365 you can find me on Instagram or Facebook, and of course during the week I’ll be making the magic happen at Do Or Dye, Merivale’s latest boutique hair salon. On a more personal note - what is your favourite item of clothing? My beautiful old retro shirt I got off Trade Me five years ago for a cup day outfit. It cost me $10 for the shirt and $80 to get it shaped to fit, but after my travels it’s the only thing I took with me that I didn’t manage to lose! What is one book you would suggest everyone read? Guns, Germs and Steel by Jarrod Diamond.
What is your proudest achievement? Having the opportunity to become a father. Having someone who looks up to you and makes you look at the world in a better way. And having the chance to inspire him to be the best human possible. If you could go back and tell your teenage self something, what would it be? Don’t be afraid to pick up a book and spend some quiet time reading for 20 minutes every day. What is your favourite drink? Depends on what feels right? Lemon water, Green Tea, Heineken in no particular order. What are you like at parties? The quiet one, listening, drinking lemon water. What’s next on the wish list? More travel… and learning more about self sustainability, permaculture and getting involved in the local markets… Ho Hum Gypsy Green Thumb next edition is coming out mid 2016! It’s always nice to dream…

Looking Up: Jenny Setchell When you're sitting in a glorious cathedral for hours, listening to your husband rehearse on an organ concert, you certainly have the time to look at such places as the ceiling… By Hans Petrovic
A
fter close to 25 years of travelling around the globe with organist Martin Setchell, who is also adjunct professor at the University of Canterbury's School of Music, his wife, Jenny, certainly did have the opportunity to appreciate the splendour of the many cathedrals, churches and concert halls where he performed. Taking photos over the years in places all around the world, Jenny has had published a coffee-table book, “Looking Up”, which contains spectacularly beautiful shots of elevated organs and ceilings around them. The 57 photos in the book were taken mostly in religious structures in Europe, America and Australia, the majority being from Germany, with plenty of others from England, France, Holland, the United States, Canada, Scotland, Poland, Holland, Austria, Italy – and New Zealand. “Little did Martin know that I was going around taking photos while he was rehearsing,” says Jenny. “I would sit around for six hours in those cold, hard pews, listening and telling him if the pedals were too loud or the flutes too soft. I also had lots of time to look at the ceilings. You get to see things that tourists and the congregation don't see, because they don't have access to certain parts of the church. “I see myself as a recorder. The actual skill and talent lies in the people who

designed these organs. In some places, the instruments blend in perfectly with their surroundings. In others, they stand out. “The organ is usually only part of a whole harmonious picture. Its grandeur is complemented by the beauty of the surrounding ceiling whether it be fan,
barrel or rib-vaulted, highly ornate stone work or painted wood. “It is the context in which the organ is placed and the harmony of the whole that creates the magical effect. “Some of the organs are more than 400 years old. So, in some churches, you get to hear what the people heard there 400 years ago.” In the book, Jenny writes: “I stand in awe of the centuries of work from musicians, organ builders, craftsmen, painters and architects who laboured to create these visual and aural canvases for us all to enjoy; and we should also be grateful to those who continue to

OUT & ABOUT
A modern day Downton Abbey A new book titled To Hell with Poverty by Christchurch author Rodney Laredo has been referred to as a modern day Downton Abbey. The entertaining overview of life upstairs and downstairs in a magnificent English country house is based on a year-long adventure living amidst the landed gentry, attending to all their needs, at home and beyond.
H
iring the daily help, shampooing, walking and feeding the family's canine companions and grooming a fleet of cars were all part of a day's graft for Rodney Laredo when he and his wife Alethea were engaged to run a large English estate. The daily exploits of the couple, their employers, their fellow house staff, visiting guests, and many of the local villagers is the subject of this captivating new book. It gives an insight into the inner workings of the charmed life at Chantborough Court, as viewed through the erudite eyes of a former Kiwi
marketer and advertising consultant turned-UK-domestic. Daily life in the 'Big House' is revealed in detail as Rodney recounts the rituals, rivalries and challenges of a 12-month working contract that was not all domestic bliss. Actual names and locations have been changed to protect the privacy of certain individuals, but the composite characters and often comedic scenes are based on the couple's personal experiences at Chantborough Court and in other English villages and households visited in the course of their many trips to England. To Hell with Poverty is published by The Caxton Press and can be found in all good bookstores throughout New Zealand.
Alethea and Rodney Laredo
GIVEAWAY Metropol in association with the author, Rodney Laredo, has two copies of To Hell with Poverty to give away.

Quality and flexibility of care is integral to life at Park Lane, who offer a wide range of accommodation and care level options. “We provide a range of care options from semi-independent right through to full rest home care in our studio
apartments,” says Louise Nash, new village co-ordination manager for owners the Arvida Group. There are spacious villas on site, each featuring one of six layouts to best fit its location. The two-bedroom, twobathroom villas have all the excellent facilities you would expect from a welldesigned new build, including sound proof double glazing and bell access to the main building services. For those in the main building itself, there is a choice of studios or onebedroom apartments, all with either semiindependent or full rest home care. “If your care needs increase to hospital
level, you have priority to transfer within the facility to our hospital wing,” says Louise. Park Lane offers an active and growing activities department, including plans to develop a Community Centre, with residents making the most of their central location to independently visit nearby Westfield Riccarton, Barrington Mall or the local shops at Tower Junction. Its easy location also means that residents often have family and friends popping in for a visit and a chat. Call Trish on (03) 338 4495 to arrange a visit to Park Lane Retirement Village at 35 Whiteleigh Avenue, Addington.

From distinctly feminine chic shifts to matching pantsuits in androgynous lines and even some flares thrown into the mix, along with paisley, tweed and two tones are titivating the seasonal fashion followers, the sixties and seventies have never been sweeter or prettier for that matter. Fashion heavyweights including Prada, BCBG and Fendi are leading by stylish example sending their prodigies down the catwalk and onto red carpets to pioneer the look – style stalk the likes of Olivia Palermo, Poppy Delevingne and Alexa Chung and you'll know just what we mean.

lthough remnants of the sixties and seventies sartorial scene have lingered in silhouettes and patterns aplenty throughout the course of time, this era is a firm and frontrunning fixture for winter 2015 and there's been a deliberate shift on the local and international fashion scene towards making it happen. Frankly, we're tickled pink about that fact.
WORLD
What springs to mind when you contemplate the sixties morphing into the early seventies? Women's lib and bra burning? Psychedelic induced antics? Moshpits at Woodstock? All relics of that revolutionary time certainly, but actually, there's only one seductive hallmark of the swinging sixties and seventies that we're concerned with right now – the wears.

ON THE RISE... The great thing about this look is that it doesn't discriminate – if you're on the more petite side or have a little more to love, it's going to work for you as well as for anyone else who sits somewhere in between. Better still, it's not going to date, so any budget blowing shopping antics can be put down to a smart investment in your future meaning guilt free shopping. What's not to love?

Back home in Aotearoa, the trend is quickly on the rise with a personal favourite and darling of many wardrobes the country over - Karen Walker - incorporating the iconic mod style into its Winter Collection. Polished, structured, eortlessly sophisticated, it's not that much of a stretch for the brand, however, with the sleek sixties and seventies aesthetic and silhouette a regular in its ranges.

Adding an interesting or colourful coat to your wardrobe will give you a lift and brighten up a winter's day. Choose a colour that suits your skin tone and it will work with the rest of your wardrobe. This season texture and pattern extend into coat styling and can work in a neutral palette if that's what you prefer. Choose a shape and length that flatters – boxy shapes are on trend as are longer line drapey coats and fur styles. Invest in a great coat, throw it on over your dullest outfit and you will feel fabulous.

modern space where customers kick back and relax. They are in the expert hands of director Andrea Simpson and managing director Justin Owen, who together have over 30 years of experience. Andrea and Justin have a knack for making their client's feel at ease. Their friendly demeanour and light chatter make it easy for customers to express what they are looking for, and in turn leave feeling refreshed and fully satisfied. On top of this, the salon is one of only two in Christchurch to stock Keune, a Dutch product range that is silk protein based and leaves hair radiantly luminous. Keune also boasts an envious colour palette that fuses leading catwalk trends with street styles for a selection of tantalising tones. Another revolutionary product in use is Olaplex. Olaplex is redefining the limits of lightening by sealing the hair and protecting it during chemical processes such as colouring. Although the range has only just arrived in New Zealand, the benefits of its enhanced colouring formula are already creating excitement. Between Keune and Olaplex, women
and men no longer need to compromise healthy hair for sumptuous colours; they can have both. It's hard to believe that a salon emitting such excellence is then so inviting and economically competitive. As well as reasonable treatment prices is a loyalty system that includes a free cut (for men) and a free product (for women) every 10th visit. The Hairdressing Place is situated at 3/107 Wrights Road. For appointments and enquiries phone (03) 338 0338. www.facebook.com/andreahairhappening

There's a definite potency to Deadly Ponies – it's got that 'come hither' look down pat with each and every one of its bodacious pieces from its handbags to its highly coveted accessories.
F
unctional perfection, Deadly Ponies - a brand, an institution, a sartorial elitist by name and by nature - is capable of sending even the most Zen devotee to a frenzy of buying up large madness. Put it down to a beautiful juxtaposition between conservative, symmetrical lines and slightly wild, fascinating fur adornments and handbags' accessories, the cultural stimulus and inspiration running trough the label's veins or, quite simply, some incredible craftsmanship. It's all semantics really. Ultimately, Deadly Ponies is what it is, always has been and always will be – that being, decidedly unpretentious yet devastatingly desirable.
The collection includes a number of new styles including felt adorned with pompoms and a selection of two-tone classics with woolen handles. One thing's for sure, it's got New Zealand and a following offshore not only wrapped around its luxury leather finger, but also singing that chorus with passionate gusto. For winter 2015, the brand's bar, already sky high, is defying the laws of gravity, and Deadly Ponies is upping its already fierce game with its new Mop Mop collection, which flirts with the raw,

minimalist and utilitarian qualities of the French Revolution. Founder and Director Liam Bowden says of the new collection, “Mop Mop is a natural extension to our Autumn collection, which was dominated by cheetah print fur. I wanted to continue the idea of nature's camouflage, which led me to explore the idea of hand-pressed woollen felt with tone on tone pompoms”.

Here they are free to safely explore – to play in the mud kitchen, feel the texture of grass on their knees and toes and to do all the messy things children love to do. “We provide lots of opportunities and experiences,” says centre director Juliette Thompson, with the centre offering elements of structure combined with free play. Recent experiences include a visit from New Zealand Police, various storytellers sharing mat times, and regular visits to the Elmswood Rest Home for the older children, with these events as well as everyday play recorded in each child's learning profile book. “We encourage parents to take the books home, to read and to share with us what is happening in the child's life at home,” says Juliette. Lollipops 'over-twos' area includes two classrooms; the Kiwi room for children aged 2–3 1/2years and Pukeko room for children aged 3 1/2-5 years.

After the closing of a successful 201415 season on May 10, Skyline Queenstown is focusing on making the upcoming 2015-16 season even better, with continuous improvements being made to the trails on Ben Lomond Reserve. For the 2014-15 season, Skyline Queenstown installed a third hook to its gondola cabins – resulting in shorter queue times and a 50 per cent increase in capacity to get riders to the top of Queenstown Bike Park. World-class riders like Loic Bruni, Loris Vergier, Finn Iles, Bernard Kerr, Eliot Jackson, George Brannigan, Casey Brown, Katy Curd, Brandon Semenuk, Cam McCaul, Ryan 'R-Dog' Howard, Kelly McGarry, Conor Macfarlane, Mick Hannah and Andrew Neethling again used Queenstown Bike Park as a training ground over summer and loved the facilities, Skyline Queenstown mountain biking operations manager Justin Matthews said.

A royal theatre for film fest This year's New Zealand International Film Festival in Christchurch, 7-23 August, will be one of celebration. After years of squeezing the festival into numerous venues around the city, they have a new home in the CBD – the stunningly restored Isaac Theatre Royal.
T
he $40-million dollar restoration of the theatre has provided the city with a grand venue that will bring a real sense of occasion to the festival. It also means the organisers can once again host gala premieres and events for up to 900 people. Better still, with Hoyts Northlands continuing as a vital NZIFF venue, they can offer a much bigger programme. This is the culmination of a massive effort to raise more than $262,000 for state of the art projection equipment that has now been installed in the Isaac Theatre Royal.
The first titles for NZIFF 2015 five Sundance award winners, have been announced, they are…
THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL
THE WOLFPACK The Wolfpack delves into the bizarrely sheltered lives of six brothers whose father has confined them and their sister since birth to the tiny rooms of their Lower East Side apartment. THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL Exhilarating in its candour and ironic verve, The Diary of a Teenage Girl recounts the visceral thrills and spills of 15-year-old boundary-pushing Minnie (Bel Powley) as she throws herself into her first affair – with her mother's boyfriend.

WORLD-CLASS SKATEBOARD AREA
QUEENSTOWN WINTER FESTIVAL On Friday 19 June, the Queenstown Winter Festival kicks off with the American Express Opening Party and Fireworks. This fabulous event is followed by ten days of street parties, music, comedy, family fun and madness up the mountain. Queenstown has been celebrating for a long time: Way back in 1975, a bunch of locals decided that the start of winter was a great excuse to have a party. What started as a few lolly scrambles for the kids and mountain races for the adults is now New Zealand's – and perhaps the southern hemisphere's - biggest celebration of winter. www.winterfestival.co.nz
The Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board have given the go-a-head for a world-class skateboard area in Sumner.

A CUT ABOVE THE USUAL Order a clever cocktail, admire as it's carefully concocted by an expert bartender, sit back, sip slowly, savour. Are you in an urbane bar in Manhattan? No it's Sydenham's very own slinky, sexy Dragon's Den Social Lounge.
“T
he Dragon's Den is a venue for people who appreciate the finer things in life,” says co-owner Andrew Brown, of Burgers and Beer and The George Hotel fame. “It's a social cocktail lounge where people can sip, sup, chat, and relax.” Small and intimate, with its dark and moody bar and intimate den with open fire, it's a snug and welcoming place to escape the cold grey winter nights. The bar, hosted by two professional bewhiskered bartenders, is impressively well stocked. The food menu is equally sophisticated. It offers a selection of very original bar snacks, plus – jewel in the crown – three weekly “small plates” carefully devised by Chef Andrew at his most creative. Like everything else at The Dragon's Den, the emphasis is on quality, with the kitchen using only the best local produce, plus beef,

lamb and venison from the nutrient rich pastures of Southland, sourced by business partner Tama Haas. The weekly “small plates” offerings are announced on Facebook each Wednesday. At $12 each or three for $30, they are good value. Also good value are “Tasteburger Tuesdays” when customers can enjoy a handcrafted small batch designer burger. “Changes weekly. Not necessarily what you'll find at Burgers and Beers next door,” says Andrew. With an eclectic selection of entertainment – think open mike, DJ or international jazz band there's always something happening at the Dragon's Den. Whether you go for a great night out, or a drink and platter before or after the movies, The Dragon's Den promises an experience that is a cut above the usual. Find it in the ever evolving new Sydenham precinct, home of the different and the original.

Japanese cuisine – a global hit Japan's most famous contribution to global food culture—sushi—has become a global hit. But Japanese cuisine is about so much more than that, explains popular Japanese restaurant SASUKE owner Shigeru Wada.
“M
ost people are familiar with sushi and teppanyaki but authentic Japanese cuisine offers a much greater selection than many people are familiar with.” Sasuke Sushi and Japanese Takeaway has become a showcase for authentic Japanese cuisine in the heart of Shirley and now Sasuke Riccarton is offering the same delicious takeaway service, with a dine-in restaurant conveniently located in the Windmill Shopping Centre, tucked right behind Westfield Riccarton. Opened in early April, Sasuke Riccarton offers a full range of sushi, as well as donburi or rice meals, udon noodle meals, curries and bento boxes. But the real difference is that the meals are prepared by a Japanese chef and kitchen staff. A popular addition to the menu is the $9.90 Tuesday curry special, available as takeaway and dine-in. The soup of the week is gaining in popularity as the cooler months approach, offering a healthy option at a reasonable price. Avenues writer Danielle Colvin recently gave Sasuke's pumpkin and bacon soup a 4.5 star rating, describing the large $6.50 takeaway cup as “indulgent, warming and
“
It's a great opportunity to get in here and try something new and different. surprisingly filling”. The restaurant is awaiting liquor licensing and offers a casual but authentic Japanese dining and takeaway option, popular for any age group. With ample carparking available both in front and behind the building, it's easy to access, whether you're heading in for lunch or dinner. “There're not a lot of restaurants that do Japanese like we do,” Shigeru says. “When people think of Japanese
cuisine they think of sushi and teppanyaki. What we offer is an authentic Japanese dining experience and it's a great opportunity to get in here and try something new and different.” Visit Sasuke Riccarton at shop 9, Windmill Shopping Centre, 184 Clarence Street, Riccarton, phone (03) 341 8935 or visit www.facebook.com/sasuke.riccarton.

Question: What do you get when you cross the captain of the NZ Butchery team with a plethora of national awards and the recent acquisition of a butchery shop at the Bush Inn?
Take a butcher's hook! Answer: Elite Meats - the home of awesome meat that surpasses the norm for flavour and quality.
A
t Elite Meats, recently purchased by Corey Winder, you are getting the combined expertise of a very skilled and qualified team of butchers and the wisdom (and techniques) learnt from holding the New Zealand Bacon and Sausage titles year after year. The mouthwatering success of this business is fired by the passion Corey has for quality and perfection. For two years, the Kiwi team of butchers, led by Corey, has taken the world title and every day at Elite Meats, he applies the same attention to detail to
every aspect of creating superb meat. Bacon, dry cured the traditional way is worth its weight in gold and Corey has a reputation nationwide for delivering a rasher that impresses. For something extra special, try the Jamaican Bacon it's soaked in rum at the end of the process, imparting a sweetness that will impress the most seasoned chef. Other tastebud tingling sensations you must try is the manuka smoked rib eye, pork roast or cutlets. Divine! For those who like to appreciate the art
of food - visit the Bush Inn store and view the window, with over 66 trays of the highest quality meat, it's a visual treat. The onset of cooler weather has seen increased sales of pre-made casseroles, all made from scratch; there are no packet sauces involved! Once you discover the quality, flavour, technique and great advice you get from Elite Meats, this butcher's shop will become a regular stop. Open seven days, phone (03) 348 5043.

Chic café for the quality obsessed Chic. Innovative. Modern. Little Merchants is the destination for coffee connoisseurs and those who want to learn the finer points of coffee appreciation. Situated in the modern Qb design complex in Bernard Street, Addington, the Espresso Bar has an industrial minimalist feel that signals that coffee is the focus here. “We offer top end coffee,” says manager James Burt.
“
We encourage people to try something new and embrace change.
S
upplied by Coffee Embassy, the focus is on sourcing and serving interesting seasonal coffees from all the world's most famous coffee regions – Africa, Ethiopia, Brazil, Colombia and more. “The idea is to keep it seasonal and fresh. At any one time we serve a blend
of coffees in season, as well as single origins,” says James. “We taste coffees from around the world, and keep to what is good at the moment.” A choice of espresso or filter coffee is always available, with the blend suited to the machines; the single origin to filter. A blackboard informs customer of the daily
coffee menu with serving suggestions and James is on hand to offer help. “We encourage people to try something new and embrace change,” he says. In keeping with their philosophy, the food at Little Merchants is delicious, healthy and affordable with a strong focus on weekly salads and freshly made sandwiches supplied by sister Cafe Lumes.

IXTY, the boutique Australian design house, has launched an expanded range - 6IXTY2. Pieces are appealingly priced and environmentally friendly, adding impressive character to a living space. The range provides a choice of oak or walnut veneers. "Inventive design doesn't have to be expensive," comments Barry Faux, leader of the 6ixty design team. "6IXTY2 uses the Furnpac design system, allowing us to economically pack and ship, providing cost savings to our customers without compromising on superior design or quality. The beautiful shapes of our new collection are sculptural in form. Our design philosophy is to enhance living environments with functionally elegant furniture, providing anchor pieces to design a room around or simply place into an existing space for a contemporary minimalist look." The metal legs take their inspiration from the latest ďŹ nishes prevalent in luxury cars. The Oak Veneer features satin nickel-plated legs while the Walnut Veneer showcases the ďŹ rst use of black nickel in the furniture industry.

Artful combination: Your ideas, their vision The changing face of Christchurch provided the ideal opportunity for one local interior design company.

The interior design space flows on seamlessly from their onsite café, Frobisher Espressory, and into their art gallery. Art works and sculptures fill the room, all could be an easy addition to any interior design work. For owners Mark and Ann-Marie Appleton, the success in their work is bringing their clients' wants and needs to life. All Frobisher's work begins with a consultation with one of their team of

Frobisher offer a wide range of services, including interior design for indoor and outdoor spaces, sourcing bespoke pieces of furniture, furniture staging for homes, and their very affordable interior and exterior colour schemes.

From the quirky, 'Sock It To Me' range of sock wear and realistic 3D tattoos, to the trendy geometric glass planters and Aztec cushions, to the stunning 'Kiwicraft' brand jewellery and Lovestitch 2015 clothing range through to the stylish French Country Collections' Dutch Stoneware Dinner Sets – the range is seemingly endless. Established in 1998 in a beautiful large heritage villa in
Amuri Avenue, the store adopted its name from the journey up the garden path which took you to the front door. Although Up the Garden Path now boasts a new home in a modern block of shops on Conical Hill Road next to sister store The Majuba Gallery, what hasn't changed is the striking selection.

2015 CANTERBURY
ARCHITECTURE AWARDS Twenty-five awards have been conferred in this year's Canterbury Architecture Awards. Public Architecture was a strong category in the Awards. Christchurch Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre, which hosted the Awards event, and Hagley Oval Pavilion won well-deserved awards, as did the much-loved Isaac Theatre Royal, a winner in the Heritage category.
J
ury convenor Tim Nees, who is currently Architect in Residence at the University of Canterbury's College of Engineering, said despite the slow process of renewal, there is reason for optimism about the rebuild. “Architects in Christchurch have been challenged,” he said. “For them, as for many people trying to make things happen in Canterbury, opportunity has been partnered with frustration. But to call the amount of construction happening in Christchurch considerable is an understatement.” Nees, who was joined on the Awards jury by Wellington architect Stuart Gardyne, Christchurch architects Justin Leadbetter and Maria Chen, and Christchurch engineer Helen Trappitt, said that one thing that struck the jury was the number of projects that had been initiated prior to the earthquakes. “Architects have had to re-imagine their work while negotiating significantly changed conditions and navigating a quite different course to completion.” The Architecture Awards continue on pages 58,59

arren and Mahoney was a strong presence among this year's award-winning practices, picking up six awards. The Awards jury said Warren and Mahoney's painstaking restoration of the Isaac Theatre Royal, a building of priceless heritage value in a city that has lost so much, was “respectful and skilful”. The Christchurch Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre, designed by Patterson Associates, was another winner in the Public Architecture category. Wilkie + Bruce Architects also put a contemporary spin on a traditional form at Knox Presbyterian Church. Keen observers of architecture and fans of cricket will have noted the debut of the Hagley Oval Pavilion during this year's Cricket World Cup. The pavilion, designed by Athfield Architects
“unashamedly draws on precedent”, the jury said. Other works by Athfield Architects also featured, with their simple gable forms, the elegant Cashel Street Townhouses were a winner in the multi-housing category. Another residential project that found favour with the Awards jury was Villa Close, a double courtyard house in Merivale by Thom Craig. Sheppard & Rout, another practice with a long history of quality work in the Canterbury region, received an award for the Loudon Homestead Alteration and Extension on Banks Peninsula. Proving that quality is not determined by scale, several small projects received awards. Lyttelton Studio Retreat by Bull O'Sullivan Architects, is a “very personal statement by a talented architect,” the jury said.

The provision of high-quality commercial development is critical to the economic viability of Christchurch. The Christchurch Eye Surgery Clinic by Wilson & Hill is the “exemplary result of a postearthquake collaboration between ten medical professionals who previously practiced from separate consulting rooms,” reported the Awards jury. Sheppard & Rout's proficiency in commercial architecture was acknowledged with two awards in this category. Stranges and Glendenning Hill Building Replacement.
Loudon Homestead – altered and extended by Sheppard & Rout
Sheppard & Rout's award-winning Young Hunter House is one of the first buildings in New Zealand to employ PRESS pre-stressed laminated timber technology. 177 Victoria Street, by Modern Architecture Partners (MAP) is, the jury said, a “delightful and modest” building. Three35, by Jasmax, is a commercial architecture project showing the benefits of prioritising the public realm over the automobile. In Merivale, the arrival of three small shops designed by Thom Craig Architects was a “surprise and source of intrigue for many in the

He knows Indonesia well – that the village of Bantul in Java makes wonderful pottery, the island of Lombok produces a selection of woven pieces, and exactly
which village specialises in bamboo, stone and wooden carvings, and furniture from teak and mahogany. “The best idea is to come in and have a look,” says Tony, standing in the warehouse surrounded by hundreds of pieces of homeware. “We have a very versatile range, and great pricing because of our direct link with the manufacturers.”
Their range includes a large selection of outdoor furniture featuring woven rattan, seagrass or water hyacinth, lacquerware paintings, colourful glazed pots from Vietnam, textiles, and brass and metal work kiwis made specifically for Bali Hai.

ith a loyal team of experienced and meticulous tradesmen to support them, DJ Hewitt has the ideal expertise for architectural builds both on hill sites and flat sections. Embracing new technologies to ensure “rock solid” homes for the future, “we are able to design creatively and build confidently for our clients” says Company Director Daryl Hewitt. The company also works closely with trusted architects, geo techs, engineers, kitchen specialists and interior designers so that DJ Hewitt's experienced-management of a building project is professionally cohesive without being complicated. “Because our professional relationships work so well, people are often surprised how quickly we can start on their home or help them choose a site,” says Daryl.
By Wendy Dunlop
His advice is to involve the builder before you start drawing any plans. “This allows us to organise and balance the budget first because it gets much more stressful later.” DJ Hewitt offers their two phase approach to building a new home: Design It & Manage It in conjunction with designers and architects, engineers, lighting, plumbing, kitchen and interior
specialists, including managing the consent process. Price It and Build It for you with the company's own expert tradies. It's simple and it's sorted so the client can sit back and watch it happen. If that doesn't inspire you, arrange a viewing of DJ Hewitt's show home on the hill. This home of the future is a highly engineered design of strength and resilience. Its unobtrusive profile contrasts with edgy contemporary style inside and features the ultimate in modern technology that is integral to high end homes. The property recently featured in House and Garden April issue and on their video which can be viewed on the company's website www.djhewitt-builders.co.nz. For anyone planning to build a bespoke home of the future DJ Hewitt Builders ticks all the boxes every time.

FRESH THINKING NEEDS
FRESH EYES MCR - McBride Charles Ryan Design
Now instore unique selection of
orking and living in Christchurch, it is at times challenging to keep the thinking fresh and honest in terms of the value an architect brings to a project – distinction from others, uniqueness. While not about creating iconic responses, every opportunity has different criteria, which equates to different results. No two buildings look and respond the same identical way to their site. And in Christchurch, where we are presented with such a blank canvas, it can be hard to take the blinkers off and remain truly creative in your thinking. A few weeks ago I had the privilege, along with Christchurch City Council Principal Urban Designer Hugh Nicholson, of hosting international architects, Rob McBride and Debbie Ryan of Melbourne’s MCR – McBride Charles Ryan. As well as a tour around the central city, we took Ryan and McBride out to the red-zoned eastern suburbs and through Sumner to Taylors Mistake, where we talked about the geology of the city and how it relates to its architectural recovery.

Spending time with people who saw Christchurch through fresh eyes, and talked about the opportunity to be crafting architecture in a way unlimited by the way things should be, reopened my own thinking. One of their key philosophies and discussion points was that architecture should never relinquish experimentation; that architecture of all scales, big or small, offers a means to this end. As architects we need to challenge ourselves with the fact that it is our duty to ask good questions. The answers could inform and allow us to test the boundaries of the way things are done. We need to understand the most appropriate response and continue to develop our own skills, education and strategies, to ensure we are adding value to each and every project. Not simply falling into a trap where we continue to be informed by our previous successes. Walking around the city with McBride and Ryan, I had the opportunity, just for a moment, to see and understand the opportunity of Christchurch with fresh eyes. Listening to them talking about responsibility and experiential thinking was done in such a way so as to develop an idea. Not ideas around the opportunity to

create award-winning cornerstones, but to create excellent responses to sites. Projects and designs that should be afforded the same passion to test the boundaries, as the iconic structure should. It is sometimes easy to forget that each project is becoming a piece of the built environment that will be part of our city for, at the very least, a generation. Informing and influencing the built environment that follows it. If we choose
not to respond to the site in an appropriate way, and not to push the boundaries in our thinking, it is a missed opportunity. We are failing to add value. We need to continue to discuss, experience and study architecture in order to challenge our own thinking. In order to see Christchurch with fresh eyes and present it with the rejuvenated built environment it, and we, deserve. www.caarc.co.nz
