New and notable announcements from across the industry.
The four winning nohonga (seat) projects for the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects Tuia Pito Ora/Brick Bay Nohonga competition will enjoy a public install in Britomart, Auckland before being moved to the Brick Bay Sculpture Trail for the summer.
Supported by Brick Bay, NZILA, Britomart, Viva and Resene, the nohonga will offer a unique platform from which viewers can explore the ways we experience space.
Whiria by Katherine Eastman, Erin Diao and Alex Smith is made from mild steel folded into various modules and painted a combination of Resene Impromptu and Resene Dell. It provides the visual link to the flax leaf, which is the main inspiration for this seat design.
Did you know that Resene Automotive and Light Industrial has been involved in every Emirates Team New Zealand challenge and defence? Before races, Emirates Team New Zealand boatbuilders and painters, with product supplied by Resene Automotive and Light Industrial, match exact custom colours for the AC75 race yachts.
Out on the harbour
Richard Muirhead, General Manager at Resene Automotive and Light Industrial, says that the process to paint an AC75 race yacht takes approximately 2,500 man hours. When asked about the design for the 2021 America’s Cup, Richard explains “the team wanted to continue using foiling yachts from the events in San Francisco and Bermuda but opted to take a huge risk and switch to a foiling monohull design, the likes of which had never been done before. The majority of recreational sailors sail on monohulls and the idea was to make the class of boat relatable to the average sailor and also appeal to the foiling generation.”
Richard says the most challenging aspect is having a coating that will withstand the huge pressures and temperatures generated on the foils and rudders, which will tear most coatings to shreds. “Resene Durepox Extreme has been developed for application to carbon fibre and other composite materials and specifically in consultation with Emirates Team New Zealand for this application. Having a high performance coating, available in all Resene colours, has been a real benefit to the team.”
Resene and the BlackWhite team look forward to seeing this beauty out on the harbour.
The Interior Awards has officially announced its 2020 winners. Ten category winners were named and the biggest prize of the night, the Supreme Award, went to the Commercial Bay Retail Precinct by Warren and Mahoney in association with NH Architecture.
Winner of the Residential Award was Raukura Turei’s Ōwairaka House, located in Mount Albert, Auckland, which features interior walls in Resene Black White, exterior walls in Resene Alabaster and Resene Pot Pourri, laundry cabinetry in Resene Coastal Blue and a living room door in Resene Dust Storm.
The awards jury said, “this alteration of an early 1950s’ deco, Queen Anne-styled brick-and-tile house in Auckland is exceptional for both its subtlety and its depth. Partly influenced by Philip Johnson’s Glass House, Hiroshi Sambuichi and Alvar Aalto, the designer has conjured up an interior that is meditative, sensual and highly respectful of the architectural tradition that precedes it. Using timber panelling and terracotta tiles, refined furniture and lighting selections, careful detailing and considerate space planning, the outcome is an accomplished interior that encompasses beauty, charm and a gentle touch of magic.”

The New Zealand Apprentice Painter of the Year title has been claimed by Chelsey Froese. The Queenstown-based painting and decorating specialist competed against four young tradespeople in Rotorua, who were tasked with producing a two-square-metre children’s play wharenui at the Master Painters New Zealand Apprentice Painter of the Year competition.
Following painter Mark Grieve, from HiLo Decorators Ltd, who was named Master Painter of the Year, Froese’s win is a testimony to the calibre of local talent. Her winning wharenui, and the fellow contestants’ projects, have been donated to local community groups.

Much of artist Hannah Jensen’s work features gorgeous flora and fauna, but this recent piece really took our breath away. She creates her unique carved paintings by first layering dozens of coats of Resene paint on to board – in this case, there were 69 – before cutting away the upper layers to reveal the contrasting ones below.
“Dancing Tūī is a commission I recently completed for a wonderful couple to symbolise their wedding day earlier this year. It is an absolute pleasure to work alongside clients to bring their visions to life,” says Hannah.
