Outtakes: Devonport house by Michael O'Sullivan

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We really like this home in Devonport, Auckland, by architect Michael O'Sullivan of Bull O'Sullivan Architects (who also designed our Home of the Year in 2011). The long form of the home is clad in white weatherboards, while the interior is a deliberate contrast, full of warm timber. In the photo below, the home's co-owner Iain Wood sits just outside the property. Emily Andrews took the photographs, and Yvette Jay styled the shoot. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVMHOlWUK0tSVb1BYmTnXdKWTwUYCJonBOhnRFFh8xvyZiucfMglpFT3M159Wk1Xw-DlXhLLfJ0RIqsnq0h72jwGoWggRXbxu6_84yERI2j7ijXWHhz1AQ27-NvEdLmGmry1-acvM24DM/s1600/AR37246.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" height="426" pua="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVMHOlWUK0tSVb1BYmTnXdKWTwUYCJonBOhnRFFh8xvyZiucfMglpFT3M159Wk1Xw-DlXhLLfJ0RIqsnq0h72jwGoWggRXbxu6_84yERI2j7ijXWHhz1AQ27-NvEdLmGmry1-acvM24DM/s640/AR37246.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The opulent herringbone patterned ceiling (below) is a metaphorical protective cloak thrown over the family.

The students created architectural installations at Otara's Town Centre using traditional lashing techniques and thousands of recycled plastic bottles. <br /><br />We speak to the duo in our current issue, but we couldn't fit in as many of photographer David Straight's great images as we wanted to, we decided to feature some extra shots here, along with the interview with Waikare and Martin. Congratulations to both of them for setting up such a successful event - we look forward to next year's version! <br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjjo47upS0GYj35VkLaqeqINy91iNCtyZMhVFCW-UF9lQ7mUboJ3Z1WUZsHFznIuwrElbBGx8b5bywCadClx8k266LTQ__IjcEg-t96wtwSBo-pTB8u_4Kss4mSuPD6U0f-g5gnJMqv1Xr/s1600/DST-AUTSCULPTURE-6494.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjjo47upS0GYj35VkLaqeqINy91iNCtyZMhVFCW-UF9lQ7mUboJ3Z1WUZsHFznIuwrElbBGx8b5bywCadClx8k266LTQ__IjcEg-t96wtwSBo-pTB8u_4Kss4mSuPD6U0f-g5gnJMqv1Xr/s640/DST-AUTSCULPTURE-6494.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b>HOME Why did you set up The Roots?</b></div></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">WAIKARE  KOMENE The Roots was established through our passion to encourage young  Maori and Pacific Island students to gain insight into architecture and  think about pursuing it as a career.

The Roots is all  about how knowing your roots or identity can help inform your  architecture or any creative arts. We wanted the event to create  community interaction and for the students to experience the design  process.<br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYwbmeXwNkF7QQ91G5_HaFaCVM4aww80_7l0uJuSbI-hP8Bqob8E5z-ikkNWcTA5km7bpy3_tsaDCeQsaN62bAGYcz75EYm5IPWiTvcmwKsAjBybagzRpnNgLiCe-OMqt67HODH9MZ29lR/s1600/DST-AUTSCULPTURE-2-324.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYwbmeXwNkF7QQ91G5_HaFaCVM4aww80_7l0uJuSbI-hP8Bqob8E5z-ikkNWcTA5km7bpy3_tsaDCeQsaN62bAGYcz75EYm5IPWiTvcmwKsAjBybagzRpnNgLiCe-OMqt67HODH9MZ29lR/s640/DST-AUTSCULPTURE-2-324.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9q5F6wFQiduSQgqzP7wTXZMxuFqf-PaFXs05kBqWBpDoGoTJt165ElQbu2L84tkyH1sJnop8eloDw1uDphPt7VilZ69FuEe-WqQ3nj9tcQZaEEn6AAbIGjJEJJEy3LwDagUg24Mq02HcN/s1600/DST-AUTSCULPTURE-2-258.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9q5F6wFQiduSQgqzP7wTXZMxuFqf-PaFXs05kBqWBpDoGoTJt165ElQbu2L84tkyH1sJnop8eloDw1uDphPt7VilZ69FuEe-WqQ3nj9tcQZaEEn6AAbIGjJEJJEy3LwDagUg24Mq02HcN/s640/DST-AUTSCULPTURE-2-258.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXgMETZUwIzRB4xln2hMXar0mps2mfR8c2WFs5Cfbpvd5PSfBjkHn4x4hM5VbBjgElTueOhEAwzZeiU6hFPhrcoY1Q-F4FInFSkN1qLqLxtCQIFGDB0EEnTpGGUYtklHvKO0Y-1IO0M_IX/s1600/DST-AUTSCULPTURE-2-272.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXgMETZUwIzRB4xln2hMXar0mps2mfR8c2WFs5Cfbpvd5PSfBjkHn4x4hM5VbBjgElTueOhEAwzZeiU6hFPhrcoY1Q-F4FInFSkN1qLqLxtCQIFGDB0EEnTpGGUYtklHvKO0Y-1IO0M_IX/s640/DST-AUTSCULPTURE-2-272.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"> Above: One of the Otara installations, built by teams of students using traditional lashing techniques and recycled plastic bottles.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>What got you guys interested in architecture in the first place?</b></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">MARTIN LEUNG-WAI Seeing prominent architecture projects in magazines and books in the Manukau Library attracted me. I was inspired by the works of Renzo Piano, Antoni Gaudi and Frank Gehry when I was in high school. From there I aimed to study architecture and travel to visit the buildings I saw in books and magazines.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">WAIKARE KOMENE I became interested in architecture at Otahuhu College; as a youngster I really enjoyed the practicality and hands-on experience taught in workshop technology and graphics.

Otara produces amazing talent: athletes, rugby and league stars, rappers, artists, bands, the mayor of Auckland and now, through us, architects and designers. Architecture allows people to relate to the environment we live in and also take a sense of ownership and pride.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJfPnrgZzRDK-t7yrpFBOEsNF4A4gKr77cy195jalN23jmSuO6lL90vPuP0YbjBAR2jfsv3qotf5KO4-XRahDUaJ0fQ4Z5lBOR6JjT7o8u1YsqZHgjpaDrJpH7bTdHz0xtlVqHBU0kkJs/s1600/DST-AUTSCULPTURE-2-327.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJfPnrgZzRDK-t7yrpFBOEsNF4A4gKr77cy195jalN23jmSuO6lL90vPuP0YbjBAR2jfsv3qotf5KO4-XRahDUaJ0fQ4Z5lBOR6JjT7o8u1YsqZHgjpaDrJpH7bTdHz0xtlVqHBU0kkJs/s640/DST-AUTSCULPTURE-2-327.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You can read more about Martin and Waikare's work on Martin's blog </span><a href="http://martinleungwai.wordpress.com/" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> and their firm Creative Native's website </span><a href="http://www.creative.maori.nz/" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">. </span>
