A Hole In The Carpet
As consumer replaces student, an exhibition studies the demise of Auckland’s specialist arts libraries, and mourns the blissful stretches of time once spent in them.

Pioneer Stock
The view from this long, low red bach isn’t of white sand and phutukawa, but paddocks and sheep. It’s a bucolic, sheltered little spot, close enough to the beach yet far enough away that it doesn’t get gusts of afternoon wind. There’s a long, shared driveway and a handful of baches; the owners all know each other well.

Perfect Pitch
For 12 years, brothers Brent and Mark Procter and their families happily spent summer holidays on a small piece of land at Pauanui.

But the plan was to eventually build a permanent, more accommodating arrangement.

A Clever Bach On A Dune, Like A Blade Of Grass In The Sun
Now, this is how a beach house should be: wet dogs and driftwood, wet towels and sand on the floor, discarded boardgames and kids – lots and lots of kids.
