BEAUTIFUL BRIGHTON: This photo of a golden sunrise over the New Brighton Pier on Sunday was
captured by Linwood resident Allan Macala. On his days off, Mr Macala will often walk along the beach
at sunrise. The New Brighton Pier re-opened earlier this month following a 16-month, $8.5 million
earthquake repairs. Mr Macala said it was good the repairs had been completed as the pier is a historical
landmark.

Meeting
sought
with
ministry
over QE II
school
zones
• By Sophie Cornish
THE PAPANUI-Innes
Community Board will invite
the Ministry of Education to
meet with it over the proposed
enrolment zones for Shirley
Boys and Avonside Girls’ High
Schools.
After writing to the MOE in
May, the community board is
“disappointed” by the response,
said chairwoman Ali Jones.
The schools will re-locate
to a shared campus at QE II
Park next year. The letter from
the community board to the
MOE outlined concerns that
the suburbs of Richmond and
Shirley were not included in the
new draft zone.
MOE deputy secretary sector
enablement and support Katrina
Casey replied on behalf of Minister
of Education Chris Hipkins.
Her letter “acknowledged
that the post-quake period for
people in Christchurch has been
stressful, demanding
and challenging for many families.”

NOW IF that photo on the front page
today doesn’t make you want to go to the
pier, then nothing will.
It was taken on Sunday by Linwood
resident Allan Macala who often walks the
beach before sunrise.
The pier re-opened this month after a 16 month $8.5 million
repair. Wet weather has kept the people away, but with the shortest
day now behind us, and crisp frosty mornings starting to bite,
it all looks good leading into spring.
More rumblings over the QE II site for Shirley Boys’ and Avonside
Girls’ (see page 1).
The Papanui-Innes Community Board wants more discussion
with the Ministry of Education over the proposed enrolment
zones.
It’s an issue that won’t go away in a hurry.

Home & Leisure Show this weekend
Food, drink tasting and prizes
THE STAR Media Home &
Leisure Show promises to be the
best yet.
Celebrating its 20th year of
supporting local businesses, the
event has an extra special flavour
this time around with a unique
tasting corner.
Event manager Vanessa
Fleming is super-enthused about
the new addition, which reflects
the importance of leisure in
people’s lives these days.
“There will be a wide range
of food and drink products to
sample, which people can then
go home and recreate in their
own kitchens,” she says.
And with the latest in kitchen
innovations and products on
display, it’s a chance to get
creative in all aspects of life.
Said Star Media chief executive
Steve McCaughan: “I am very
excited about the new elements
we have introduced with the
addition of our free taste section,
new glossy Home and Leisure
magazine, plus fantastic prizes to
be won.”
Seminars are held throughout
each of the three days and
feature everything from
starting a renovation through
to the design and decoration
stage.
A hot topic this year is water,
with multiple water filtration
systems being exhibited at the
show, along with spa pools
and the best in heating

“This show is designed to
inspire people with the latest in

Rats seen at Bexley Reserve after rubbish dumping
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
ILLEGAL RUBBISH dumping at
Bexley Reserve is causing rats to
populate nearby properties.
Residents living near the
reserve on Pages Rd are upset
after putting up with the consequences
of several incidents of fly
tipping.
One large pile of rubbish was
removed by the city council earlier
this month.
Pegasus Post
was told it has
been an issue
since November.
The rubbish
piles included
chicken bones,
tea bags, boxes
and house hold
Tim Baker
items.
In the past year, the city council
has received 22 complaints to
remove rubbish from the reserve.
Resident Paula Bartlett-Pak
said the rubbish has been
bringing rats into the area and
it shouldn’t have taken the city
council so long to clean it up.
Her views have been backed
by neighbours Trish Barnes,
Christine Robertson and Dave
Bonnington.
Mrs Robertson said it is the
first time her property has had
rats and she has placed poison
around the property.
“I was outside and thought
‘who put that bloody big rock
in the drive way?’ And then it
moved and then I thought ‘oh my
god’ it is a bloody rat,” she said.
Mr Bonnington said he has
lived next to Bexley Reserve for
12 years and never had rats until
now.
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board member Tim Baker said
he saw a name in the rubbish and
is hoping the city council will
now be able to track down who
has dumped it.
City council community parks
manager Al Hardy said it does
not know who is responsible for
the rubbish dumping.
GROSS: A large pile of
rubbish at Bexley Reserve has
been attracting rats to nearby
properties on Pages Rd.
Additional security barriers
have been added to the reserve
and vegetation pruned to help
minimise the illegal dumpings.
Dumping rubbish is punishable
by a fine of up to $400.
Concerns have also been raised
over how often the reserve is
maintained.
Over the past 12 months, 129
maintenance jobs have been
performed at the reserve, and a
further 64 hours of pruning carried
out by city council rangers.

Lack of consultation on barriers criticised
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
BURWOOD RESIDENTS
have been left disappointed
after planned changes to the
placement of barriers in the red

The Burwood East Residents’
Association is concerned Land
Information New Zealand’s
plans to resolve anti-social issues
in the red zone “will not entirely
address” all problems it raised.
It first sent a letter to the
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board in April calling for the
placement of barriers to be
reviewed as a result of boy racers
doing burnouts in the red zone.
Rubbish dumping, unauthorised
vehicles risking the safety of
pedestrians and cyclists as well
as causing damage to grass and
vegetation have raised concerns.
LINZ, which is responsible
for managing Crown-owned
land in the residential red
zone, has since devised a plan
to add additional bollards and

TWO DONATED bench
seats have been installed on
New Brighton’s foreshore in

Each seat has a matching

Rawhiti
drain to
be fixed
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A PROBLEMATIC drain
causing parts of New Brighton’s
Rawhiti Golf Club to become
waterlogged will get fixed.
The golf club has been left optimistic
after a meeting with city
council staff recently to have action
taken over the flood-prone
Rawhiti Drain.
The drain is designed to take
any overflow of water from the
surrounding North Beach suburb
into the river.
It runs from the Grantley St
end of the golf course, through
to Keyes Rd before a pipe takes
the excess water into the Avon
River.
The club first approached the
city council over the issue about
a year ago.
City council’s land drainage
manager Keith Davison said the
drain will have some minor regrading
where necessary.
Work will begin over the next
couple of months.
A small excavator will form
the bottom of the drain so
surface water runs downhill as
designed.
Mr Davison said a field tile
line running under the drain’s
channel will be cleaned of silt
and most likely checked for any
damage. He said the drain is not
the only problem causing the
flooding.
“Local groundwater is elevated,
this was caused by the
preceding years’ higher than
average rainfall,” Mr Davison
said.
City council staff suspect there
had also been post-earthquake
ground settlement which causes
surface water to pond in different
areas.
The golf club’s president Leon
Zilinskas said it was a positive
outcome and was pleased the
city council was going to do
something about it.

Paul Simon - The Life
By robert Hilburn
‘There’s no tougher a mind, no more tender a voice than Paul Simon, and there’s no better
man than Robert Hilburn to decipher the hardwiring of this hyperintellect...great songs can
never be fully explained, but the great man on his way to find those songs surely can.’ - Bono
Through such hits as “The Sound of Silence,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Still Crazy After
All These Years,” and “Graceland,” Paul Simon has spoken to us in songs for a half-century
about alienation, doubt, survival, and faith in ways that have established him as one of
the most honoured and beloved songwriters in American pop music history. Yet Simon has
refused to talk to potential biographers and urged those close to him to also remain silent.
But Simon not only agreed to talk to biographer Robert Hilburn for what has amounted to
more than sixty hours, he also encouraged his family and friends to sit down for in-depth
interviews.
Paul Simon is a revealing account of the challenges and sacrifices of artistry at the highest
level. He has also lived a roller-coaster life of extreme ups and downs. We not only learn
Paul’s unrelenting drive to achieve artistry, but also the subsequent struggles to protect
that artistry against distractions - fame, wealth, marriage, divorce, drugs, complacency,
public rejection, self-doubt - that have frequently derailed pop stars and each of which he
encountered. From dominating the charts with Art Garfunkel and a successful reinvention as a
solo artist, to his multiple marriages and highly publicized second divorce from Carrie Fisher,
this book covers all aspects of this American icon.
Refugee
By Alan Gratz
JOSEF is a Jewish boy living in 1930s Nazi Germany. With the threat of concentration
camps looming, he and his family board a ship bound for the other side of the world ...
ISABEL is a Cuban girl in 1994. With riots and unrest plaguing her country, she and her
family set out on a raft, hoping to find safety in America . . . MAHMOUD is a Syrian boy in
2015. With his homeland torn apart by violence and destruction, he and his family begin
a long trek toward Europe . . . All three kids go on harrowing journeys in search of refuge.
All will face unimaginable dangers -- from drownings to bombings to betrayals. But there
is always the hope of tomorrow. And although Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud are separated
by continents and decades, shocking connections will tie their stories together in the end.
This action-packed novel tackles topics both timely and timeless: courage, survival, and
the quest for home.

The President is Missing
By President Bill Clinton and James Patterson
The President is Missing. The world is in shock.
But the reason he’s missing is much worse than anyone can imagine.
With details only a President could know, and the kind of suspense only James Patterson
can deliver.
‘The dream team delivers big time a Clinton’s insider secrets and Patterson’s storytelling
genius make this the political thriller of the decade.’ - Lee Child
‘A bullet train of a thriller. The Day of the Jackal for the twenty-first century.’
- A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window
‘Yes, The President is Missing is fiction - it’s a thriller - but James Patterson and I have
come up with three of the most frightening days in the history of the presidency. And it
could really happen... These days, the seemingly impossible can happen. And it happens
so fast. I believe that readers will not soon forget President Jonathan Duncan and his
story.’ - Bill Clinton
‘Needless to say, we had some great conversations about the presidency, what life in
Washington is really like, and about the state of America and the rest of the world.’

Gary Knight responds to
articles about the plans
to develop a multipurpose
outdoor sports
facility at Rawhiti Domain
and illuminate the New
Brighton Clock Tower
To meet the leisure and
recreational needs of New
Brighton residents, sporting
programmes are vital to unite
future community growth
and bolster the
sustainability of
groups
pro-active in this
area.
Accolades
are therefore
extended
to Eastern
Community
Sporting and
Recreational Inc
for its intention
to lease 3881 sq m of land at
Rawhiti Domain for tennis
and netball court upgrading,
complete with a canopy. The
10-year plan to open this $2.2
million facility, which received
major support through public
submissions, will hopefully be
sanctioned by a city council
decision to allow the lease. The
$675.000 raised by the Rata
Foundation and New Zealand
Community Trust bears
testimony to the communitybased
awareness of these groups.
The criteria of the city council’s
Long Term Plan 2018-2028 to
operate grants as a contributory
factor towards community
building is surely the catalyst
for the remaining required
$1,525,000 to be met from city
council coffers as an additional
anchor project to ensure this
worthy community facility
upgrade goes ahead.
As gifts from Richard Edward
Green in the 1920s, the Sumner
clock tower, J
E Fitzgerald statue
and the New Brighton
Clock Tower
are memorable
instances in the
New Brighton community
archives.
As an iconic
landmark, however,
the New Brighton
Clock Tower is of
major significance
to the area. Designed by architect
Benjamin Ager, this revered
structure, having had its foundation
stone laid by mayoress Irene
Leavre in 1934, is of historic and
remembrance status for many.
Within this context, accolades
are extended to Coastal-
Burwood Community Board
chairwoman Kim Money for her
innovative concept of having the
clock tower floodlit. This would
be a pro-active step to enlighten
this memorable land mark with a
visual focus.
Reading takes you places
North New
Brighton
resident Bob
Docherty has
made an
exciting career
out of travelling
around New Zealand to
promote reading and
literacy in schools. He
writes about the value of
teaching children to read
SCOTTISH ACTOR Sir Thomas
Sean Connery was once asked
when he got his first break. He
replied that it was at the age of
five when his mother taught him
how to read.
This highlights an important
fact about children and reading
– if you want your children to
read, then parents and caregivers
must show children that they
value reading by reading themselves
and by reading to children
from an early age.
This is particularly true of
fathers as research shows that
boys are lagging behind girls in
the literacy stakes. For children
the value of reading is immense.
They learn how language
works, increase their vocabulary,
become better writers and
their overall communication
skills are improved.
BOOKS: Bob Docherty says
actor Sean Connery inspires
children to read.
Plus, reading is fun, stimulates
imagination and increases
knowledge better than any other
media.
In these days when the internet
rules and social media and
cell phones dominate people’s
lives, reading seems to have
taken a secondary role and there
is a need for teachers and educationalists
to take reading back to
children to let them know how
good it is.
This is where I come in. I read
hundreds of children’s books
from board books for babies
to picture books, early readers,
primary fiction and fiction for
teenagers and young adults.
I review books sent to me by
leading publishers on my blog at
https://bobsbooksnz.wordpress.
com/
I also visit schools all over
New Zealand to talk about reading
and books, with the aim of
encouraging children to read. I
love doing it and teachers tell me
that after I leave their schools,
children flock to the library to
read them.
This heartens me enormously.
In my lifetime two things help
to define you as a person – the
people you meet and the books
that you read. Get reading.

Celebrating Matariki in the red zone
A LARGE feast was served to 500
people in the red zone to celebrate
Matariki.
The event was held at Avebury
House and the Richmond Community
Gardens.
The free feed included a traditionally
prepared hangi along
with a meal by chef Richard Till
using locally grown produce
cooked on site in the Avebury
House kitchen.
Matariki in the Zone was a
collaboration by Avebury House
Community Trust, Richmond
Community Garden and Avon-
Ōtākaro Network.
Matariki is known as the Māori
New Year and is a time for letting
go of the past and looking to the
future by celebrating last season’s
harvest and preparing for the
new. It is signalled by the rise
of Matariki or the Pleiades star
constellation on the horizon of the
night sky.
Richmond Community Garden
member Hayley Guglietta said it
was fitting the community garden
in the red zone adjoining Avebury
Park was the site of the festival.
Two new gardens were opened
including an edible native koru
garden and a household rain
garden exemplar for treating
stormwater was built and officially
opened.
ENVIRONMENTAL: Volunteers building a household rain
garden exemplar and listening to music.

Christchurch Intermediate
Schools
Specialists in Year 7 and Year 8 Education
OPEN NIGHTS 2018
Intermediate schools target the needs of
early adolescent Year 7 & 8 students -
11-13 year olds. These two-year, co-educational
schools are in many ways ideal environments
for students to begin their adventures into
adolescence.
Early adolescence is a unique and special time
of immense physical, intellectual, emotional
and social development. These changes
create specific needs and challenges that are
significantly different from the needs of younger
children or older adolescents.
An intermediate school can support your Year 7 &
8 child in ways that include but are not limited to:
• The staff are all focussed on the needs of
early adolescents and teach in these schools
because they establish strong relationships
and particularly enjoy working with Year 7 & 8
students. They are highly qualified, experienced
and skilled teachers of early adolescent
students, who ensure pastoral, social and
emotional needs are well supported.
• The resources are all designed and acquired
to meet the needs of this age group - age
Intermediates are exciting places for students to
begin their adventure into adolescence. In addition
to providing a rich, age and stage, middle-yearsspecific
curriculum in a stimulating, challenging and
rewarding environment, intermediates cater for many
interest groups and clubs.
It is not surprising that New Zealand and overseas
research concludes that the quality of teaching is
one of the most significant factors influencing how
well students learn at school. Given that quality
teaching occurs in most New Zealand schools
regardless of their type, it’s only natural to consider
other factors that might make a difference for early
adolescents.
The young people at intermediates are changing
rapidly – physically, emotionally and socially.
Intermediates focus solely on this age group and
are well positioned to meet their needs. A mix
of specialist and home room teachers helps to
provide the choices, challenge, love for practical
activities and academic rigour in the students’
learning. Resourcing, both human and physical, that
is developed deliberately to meet early adolescent
student needs, helps to build self esteem, assist
students to develop and find strengths and links
learning with career aspirations. Teachers who are
focussed solely on the middle years are able to work
collaboratively to provide level-appropriate engaging
appropriate experiences, opportunities and
challenges are planned for and provided.
• Leadership development focuses on
opportunities for students to develop the
important skills associated with leading their peers
- people their own age.
• Secure and supportive yet challenging
environments are provided to support students
to develop their independence.
• Students thrive on the opportunity to step up.
• Specialist teaching opportunities enable
students to receive age appropriate and
challenging learning in technology, science,
performing arts and visual arts.
• Significant home group environments support
strong literacy and numeracy programmes
differentiated in creative ways to meet students’
individual needs - all students are extended
and the focus is on accelerating progress.
The intermediate schools in Christchurch work
closely together to collectively provide a wide
range of extracurricular opportunities for students
in sporting, cultural and academic contexts.
programmes that connect learning to students’ lives
and interests and provide challenge for all students
to achieve to the best of their ability.
Current intermediate school students list these
points:
1. “There are more children of my own age here
because our school takes all the year sixes from a
few different schools and they come to one school.
And because we’ve got bigger numbers of pupils
we can have more sports teams and … there’s
something for everyone” Y8 child
2. “Our school has different specialist teachers for
subjects like music art, P.E. and technology, so we
get used to that – which is good preparation for
secondary school” Y7 girl
3. “At intermediate school everything is for our two
years (age group).” Y8 girl
4. “I like that we don’t have to look out for little
children. That was neat at our old (primary) school
but it’s nice to just have our own age here. Y7 boy
5. “It’s good that we don’t have big secondary kids
here. We can worry about them when we’re older…
and then we’ll be big too. Y8 boy

Hula hoop record launch
REGISTRATION to take
part in a the city’s attempt
to break the record for the
most people hula hooping
at the same time has
opened.
To celebrate the launch
for registrations, a special
visit was made by organisers
In2Hula to Banks
Avenue School last week.
They were joined by the
Heart Foundation’s mascot
“Hearty”.
The visit involved a 30
minute demonstration to
teach children some hula
hoop skills and gave pupil
Amelia Beazey, who has a
heart condition, an opportunity
to hula hoop with
her classmates.
In2Hula was founded by
Bernadette Smith and her
husband Grant.
They broke the New
Zealand record after
60 people continuously
hooped for 2min.
However in 2009, 150
people in Invercargill hula
hooped the record away.
Mrs Smith said the
Super Heart Hoop-Off is
to be held on October 28
in Hagley Park.
The theme for the record
attempt is super heroes

SECONDARY SCHOOL SELECTION
Parklands kendo fighter to
do battle in South Korea
• By Jacob Page
PARKLANDS kendo
fighter Tania Butterfield is
keen to create her own slice
of history.
The 31-year-old will
be part of the first New
Zealand women’s Kendo
team to attend the world
championships in South
Korea in September.
New Zealand did not
send a women’s team
in 2015 because it did
not have a high enough
calibre of competitors, said
Butterfield. “It’s a huge
honour because the six of
us going have had to work
very hard to get there, so
it’s nice to be part of it.”
Kendo is a Japanese
form of fencing with twohanded
bamboo swords. It
was originally developed as
a safe form of sword training
for the samurai.
Other Canterbury Kendo
Club members Masa Matsunami
and Kai Edwards
were selected in the New
Zealand men’s team. Edwards,
a Cashmere High
student, will go to South
Korea as an apprentice.
Butterfield’s journey
started in 2013 when she
was an english teacher on a
two-year OE.
“At school I learnt Japanese
and we had to do a
project on a Japanese sport
and I was the only one who
chose kendo and I found it
really interesting,” she said.
“When I went to Japan,
I had a colleague ask me
if there was anything I
wanted to really do while I
was living there and I said
I’d like to give kendo a try.
MARTIAL ARTS:
Masa Matsunami,
Tania Butterfield
and Kai Edwards will
represent New Zealand
at the kendo world
championships in Korea
in September.
“One of my student’s fathers
invited me to try one
night and even left me this
broken english message
through Google translate
so I thought I should really
show up. Things just progressed
from there.”
Butterfield’s brother
Andrew was also a New
Zealand judo representative.
She has earned her
kendo brown belt and is
now up to her third dan.
Butterfield said the men
hoped to rank in the world
top eight at the competition,
while the women are
heading into the unknown.
She said kendo is more
mental than physical, and
it is one of the rare sports
where you can get better
with age. “Some of the best
in the world are in their
80s so it’s a sport for life.”

SECONDARY SCHOOL SELECTION
State of the art campus opens next year
Construction of the new campus for
Avonside Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ High
Schools is progressing rapidly with
opening on track for 2019.
The new campus will feature a Performing
Arts Centre with a 750-seat theatre and a
100-seat theatre, a hockey turf, four sports
fields, three indoor gymnasiums, a café,
and a large library and learning centre.
Both Avonside Girls’ High School
Principal Sue Hume and Shirley Boys’
Headmaster John Laurenson are excited
by the progress.
“You can finally see that all we have been
talking about and dreaming about is taking
shape. We will be onsite with our students,
staff and community making the most of
all of the fantastic new facilities before we
know it,” says Sue Hume.
John Laurenson says the progress is
impressive.
“We went through the site recently and
it was actually a little emotional to stand
in what will be our new school for the first
time - it signals the end of all the hard times
the earthquakes brought. Already you can
see this will be a very well-resourced and
impressive campus.”
The campus is due to open in Term
Two of 2019. It will be the first time in
New Zealand’s modern history that two
well established and successful single sex
schools are being rebuilt side by side. Both
schools will retain their single sex identity,
providing learning tailored to boys and
girls and continuing to develop their
unique values.
John Laurenson says the move has
enabled the schools to offer students more.
“Because we’re building together, we’ve
been able to build bigger and better
facilities.”
Sue Hume says being side by side will also
enable better educational opportunities.
“We’ll collaborate on teaching
some senior subjects, so we can offer
students wider choice and there’s also
the opportunity to work together on
co-curricular opportunities – such as
productions, and sports competitions.
This move will increase the opportunities
we can offer our students – both in and out
of the classroom.”

campus go to www.newcampus.nz

temperament. The dogs can
increase a child’s relaxation while
reading, listen attentively, do not
laugh, judge or criticise, allow
children to proceed at their own
pace and can be less intimidating
than a child’s peers. Library staff
and a dog handler will be present

mitre 10 mega ferrymead
lend a helping hand
A MASSIVE clean-up of the Lyttelton Anglican Cemetery
has left it looking a lot smarter. Ten team members
from Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead spent hours weeding,
cutting, pruning and mowing as part of a community
initiative called Helping Hands. Launched to mark the
10th Anniversary of Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead, the store
is selecting 10 applicants whom staff will help with their
project. They can be from individual and/or community
groups and have a project that can be completed
within 10 hours with the help of 10 team members.
The Canterbury St cemetery was the first project to
receive help. It’s where the graveyard scenes from Peter
Jackson’s The Frighteners were filmed and has become
overgrown in recent years. Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead
spokeswoman Leah Knauf said the team from the store’s
garden centre worked from 8am through to almost
6pm at the cemetery. “It was a mammoth task, but
we got there and did as much as we could,” she said.
“It was cold to begin with but once we got under way
it was fine. Everyone was hypedup about the whole
project beforehand and by the time we got to the end
everyone was just ecstatic with the amount of work we
actually did. We could see the improvement we’d made.”
Ms Knauf said people were welcome to apply in store
or email marketing.ferrymead@mitre10.co.nz to
become part of the Helping Hands initiative.
Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead was supported by Kiwicare
which provided moss and weed killer and the city
council which helped with disposal of the weeds.

T
he firs time I woke up with a cold nose in my brand
new home, I wa shocked. How could this be? The
cool, calm, collected one and I had planned for our
home to be we l insulated against Canterbury’s
cold winters. Turns out, not we l enough. We’d
even assured a we l-meaning friend we had ample
insulation (yes, Duncan, you were right). I’ve worked out where we
fe l short in hindsight. Our home was designed by highly respected
Christchurch architect the late Peter Beaven, for a magic little
Port Hi l site, where he planned to live in with his wife Lesley.
Sadly Peter died before realising his plans. We bough them and
employed Archology in Sydney, where we were living at the time, to
prepare the construction drawings and specifications. Compared to
Australia, the R values for insulation would have looked high. Our
talented young builder, Sam McCarthy, would never have queried
the levels because they were standard practice around town. So it
wasn’t until we were living in the house and I consulted Council’s
eco design advisor Julie Villard about how we could warm it up that
we discovered, while we unwittingly thought we had exceeded New
Zealand standard, we had merely met Code. And that ain’t going to
cut it in our climate.
Fortunately Julie had plenty of ideas on how we could improve
the situation and we have easy access to our underfloor to top-up
the insulation. Julie Vi lard, an architect from France, is on a mission
to transform building best practice here and you can read abou the
groundbreaking ideas she’s applied to her own brand new build on
page 20.
I’ve shared the highs and lows of building with the other home
builders and renovators I interviewed and, like Diane (page 36), would
relish doing it again. I wa struck by how a l the home owner said
wha they most valued was the ability of their designer or builder to
“rea ly listen” to their wants and needs. I was also impressed by how
much Christchurch people love a good garage! We’ve got some ideas
for some top of their class cars to complement yours on page 81 and
how to quickly establish a lawn on page 72.
We review a l the lates trends in everyone’s favourite room –
the kitchen (page 48), and share an easy yet impressive recipe for
entertaining friends in your fabulous new home on page 77.
I hope Peter Beaven would be pleased with how the cool, calm,
co lected one and I realised his dream. Go chase yours people!

Speaking to the NZ Institute of Architects about ‘bespoke
architecture’ being a ‘minority pursuit’ not long before his death
Peter said “I am going to try to prove that it’s possible to build
modestly and cheaply with a little house for ourselves. It’s going to
be sustainable and it’s going to be beautiful and it’s going to be just
cheap – no more than an ordinary spec house. I’ l prove that it can
be done, and it might be the las thing I prove.”
