The villa

A little self-promotion here, but those of you who are interested in architecture may also be interested in the book Villa, which I worked on with Patrick Reynolds and Jeremy Salmond. In it, we've celebrated the adaptability and diversity of occupation of this uniquely New Zealand building form, visiting, photographing and writing about 20 villas from Dunedin to Hokianga. All the homes have been photographed by Patrick, who came up with the idea for the book after renovating his own villa, which is featured on our October/November cover. Here's the book cover if you're interested in looking out for it. The book is published by Random House, and I've vowed never to do another one at the same time as my full-time job. <div> </div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394452764572114002" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicf4pgnSgkTA9yjE51PHRAY1QIrqTciFli5pXcED10Idiu7rbgin7lCQaYaRMXjHf_31GZv21AfQtMs52hp0-6wA2pPCHetfKQ37LoILu55SeAPumr9uosyv_aSJsxYOVqNAo9x6tnAPAN/s400/Villa+book+cover.JPG" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 303px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" />
