Um, they haven't. I think I said moved TO the country, not from the country. Just gone up north. Still very much involved with design and sustainability projects, through both HDG, and eBode Housing.
We’ve…

Didn't realise Neil and Jette had left these shores – a loss to the country.
We've been on the lookout for a Sunbeam toastermatic (1960's "pop-less" toaster) ever since. Well, not since we moved…

I'm not one for wandering through other people's houses at open days just for kicks but I'll make an exception here.

But Bart, you're quite right, that's…

It is a lovely old house from the outside and that's from someone who has a generally low opinion of old houses in Auckland.

It's neat to see the inside.

BUT it sits on a busy corner of a busy road and I…

Apparently it's not the house in Ruby and Rata, but Jette says;

we have had several TV commercials filmed there, parts of Pūkana and our ... Eco meets Deco launch of sustainability features in 2006, Jeanette Fitzsimons and Dr Morgan Williams ... were interviewed in the lounge for TV3…

He has an old art deco house too and his neighbour who is another Production person…

The photos don’t even do it justice. It has a projection booth too.
