Villa a Waiheke Island
New Zealand

12 March 2013

Waiheke Island is a small island of the coast of New Zealand’s North Island. Here, on Matiatia Bay, the Fearon Hay Architects studio has designed a house for a family. With a large area—375 square meters—available, the functions have been spread out over a series of small separate buildings laid out around a common space, open to the sky, which also houses a swimming pool. The four structures containing the day, night, cooking and work zones are built of concrete, with a great deal of glass and aluminum panels for screening. Given its geographical location, the structure is self-sufficient in energy terms, with solar panels and a well to collect rainwater. The furniture is a concentrate of essentiality and high-end Italian design. Lucky people, what else can you say? (via Yatzer)

She sits astride Italy, Belgium and Southeast Asia, and sometimes falls off. When asked what she does, she replies: I do things, see people. She has been writing about furniture for twenty years and is still not tired of it, in spite of everything. She has no free time, and is not even interested in it. For her it’s enough not to have to go to the same office everyday. She mixes with unlikely people, and contributes to Klat for this very reason.
