This winter we’re all about the cosy spaces and grand developments bringing new facets to Ōtautahi. We explore historic buildings in Addington and Cathedral Square finding innovative new leases on life, and talk to the visionary developers who took them on. Speaking of visionary, have you heard of YEN Gin? It’s the newest gin made right here in Christchurch, and it’s being launched with a collectible NFT – we managed to sit down with its creators to find out just what an NFT is and, perhaps more importantly, taste the gin. We’ve lined up a lot of seriously cool Christchurch and national celebrities to hear what they’ve got to say about life, Aotearoa, Ōtautahi, and this season’s upcoming events and tours – we’re talking musicians, artists, athletes and even a drag queen. And we hear from our regular contributors: experts on fashion, landscape architecture, wellbeing, beer, and interior design. Speaking of interior design, we’ve got your guide to the latest and greatest trends in the design world, straight out of the showrooms of Milan and New York. On the local design scene, check out our piece on Nightworks Studio, a small Christchurch business designing world-class high-end lighting, including the chandelier in the renovated Public Trust Building. And we take a look at King of Snakes wicked new location on The Terrace, its amazing décor sourced from historic buildings in Christchurch and around the world, and its hidden gem – a high fidelity ‘listening bar’ called Monarch, something unlike anything else in New Zealand. You’ll also find the best in winter events, fashion, food and homewares.
