Historically, New Zealand has imported architectural styles from overseas and set our homes apart like ‘objects’ in the landscape, often with little relationship to the surrounding environment, the climate or the position of the sun throughout the day. But, today, there are many different house designs around the country that reflect the differing contexts in which we live. Contemporary homes are more influenced by geography, climate, and socioeconomic factors, such as whether it is a permanent home or a retreat, located in the city or in the wilds, along with what the local history is, what materials are best suited to the area, and the local and personal preferences. CONTEMPORARY HOUSE STYLES OF NEW ZEALAND In the north of New Zealand, where the weather is generally warmer and less blustery, more time can be spent living outside. As a result, local architecture responds to this in many ways with softer, more natural, and layered materials combined with living spaces that open ...

Wood joinery is one of the most basic concepts in woodworking. If we didn't have the ability to join two pieces of wood together in a solid fashion, all woodworking pieces would be sculptures, carved out of a single piece of wood. However, with the many varied types of wood joinery, a woodworker has several different joints in his arsenal from which to choose, based on the project. If you master these wood joinery concepts, you'll be well on your way to becoming a very accomplished woodworker. Following are some stronger joints type. THE MITER JOINT A miter joint occurs when two end pieces are cut on angles and fitted together, commonly found in the corners of picture frames and the upper corners of some styles of doorway casing (trim). The word “miter” simply means “angle,” so while many types of miter joints are cut on 45-degree angles, other angles can be used as well.

Woodworkingjoinery is the craft of connecting and securing the separate members of the wooden construction to one another by means of specific cuts on the ends and/or sides of the members. Woodworking the joint is the spot where usually two pieces of wooden construction are joined together to form a rigid self-supporting and permanent construction. Woodworking joints can be formed between the edges or between the end and the face, in the direction of the length, at right angles or it may be at an angle, other than a right angle. Various glues or fasteners (nails, screws, bolts…) are being used to increase the strength, effectiveness, and rigidity of woodworking joints. Since the main purpose of woodworking joints is to join wooden parts together, their construction should be done carefully, so it would not weaken the parts that are joining. Each of these joints has a name and is usually some variation of a hole or slot on one timber, and a corresponding, matching projection on the...

  A dwelling that is secondary to the principal dwelling on the site. This means that minor dwellings are not the same as principal dwellings. Different rights and restrictions apply to minor dwellings, and they can be expected to have a lower standard of amenity than principal dwellings. This is because they may depend on some of the functions of the principal dwelling, such as shared driveways, shared pedestrian access, shared amenity space, etc. A minor dwelling is a special type of dwelling. To qualify as a minor dwelling, it must contain a kitchen and be designed to be used for a residential purpose. Where an activity does not meet the requirements for a dwelling, it cannot be a minor dwelling. Thus, a sleep-out without a kitchen/food preparation facility would be an accessory building and not a minor dwelling. The definition of ‘minor dwelling’ clearly requires this dwelling to be secondary to the principal dwelling on the site. This also means that minor dwellings cannot b...

Achieving a likeness isn’t interesting, it’s more of an entry point. A good portrait, for example, tells you what the person was like or how the artist viewed them. What the artist thinks or feels, consciously or unconsciously, is...
