About Cape to Bluff
Cape to Bluff traverses Aotearoa New Zealand from north to south to compose a unique portrait of residential architecture across the islands. A sense of place is at the core of the curatorial vision, featuring 30 exceptional houses that respond to, and are in harmony with, the land – its forms, its climate, its people. Landscapes range from alpine to coast, rural to city, the architects responding in poetic and pragmatic ways. This carefully crafted book is an exclusive window on some of the most interesting, ideas-driven projects of recent years.
Cape to Bluff features images from architectural photographer Simon Devitt, writing on each home by Andrea Stevens and interviews with the architects behind the buildings, all within a terrific perfect bound volume designed by Luke Scott.
