Cape to Bluff is a landmark photographic survey of residential architecture from Aotearoa New Zealand, and the first volume in the series continued by Cape to Bluff Vol. 2. Photographed by world-renowned New Zealand photographer Simon Devitt, with words by former architect and award-nominated writer Andrea Stevens and design by Luke Scott, this beautiful hardcover invites you into thirty of the country’s most architecturally striking homes, from sun-drenched baches in Northland to rammed earth houses in the deep south. Weaving through dreamy and dramatic locations, including a crescent-moon shaped bach in Tutukaka and a bivvy house inspired by a goldminer’s hut overlooking Lake Wakatipu, Cape to Bluff tells the story of New Zealand’s fluctuating microclimate, how we respond to creative challenges, and how we live and what we value today. Featuring the work of thirty of Aotearoa’s leading architects, with some structures never seen in public before, this is a celebration of a self-assured, poetic and sustainable new era of New Zealand architecture. It is equally at home on a coffee table, in a design studio, or styled on a shelf beside other design-led titles from our books collection.
