A monthly publication, Style is presented on high grade gloss stock with a hard cover. Delivered flow wrapped to top real estate value homes around Christchurch, it targets readers with a high disposable income. Designed to inspire, Style has a lengthy shelf life that offers excellent value for your advertising choice.

Life and its opportunities can take you by surprise. My career in publishing started in Christchurch, took me into high fashion world in London, and back. With a love of the Garden City and a desire to live in my hometown, I am thrilled with the opportunity to be the new editor of Style.

I have always loved receiving Style in my letterbox each month, and would like to thank my predecessor Majka Kaiser for passing me an already beautiful and successful magazine.

Just like our homes, cars and wardrobes, magazines need an update every now and then. Therefore, in the

coming months we will introduce new features, new sections and a new voice to Style without losing its charm. Already in this issue you will notice the addition of a house feature (Salisbury Street apartment), Style Arts and a fashion editorial (shot around our central city).

My aim is for Style to be the voice of Christchurch, showcasing the best of everything in order to give you inspiration to create your ultimate lifestyle.

which stayed in force until 30 April 2011. Please take a moment to remember these people, and

their families who have lost so much.

Love With a Royal Seal of Approval Looking for a special gift of love this Valentines day?

Charbonnel et Walker chocolates are now available at Ballantynes. Their chocolates are handmade to traditional recipes, using the finest

ingredients. Charbonnel et Walker hold the Royal Warrant as manufacturers for Her Majesty the Queen. Their chocolates and truffles

have a luscious richness and unforgettable silky taste.

Spectrum Oi YOU! is the largest street art festival in this part of the

world. If you havent made it there yet, there's still time the festival runs until April 17. On the must-see list is Selina

Miles' Perspective: Limitless video. She explores the genre of street art from every perspective through over 100 different channels. Get transported in another world through Selina's

passion for street art.

The Aromax diffuser is an electronic home diffuser. With a minimalist cone-shape design, this product combines the scent of nature with modern-day technology. We put this to the test and see if it lives up to expectations.

The design really does look very stylish in a home environment; with so many colour options this is indeed a very smart diffuser.

With all technology there is the initial fear of how complex is this going to be? The Aromax diffuser comes with very easy-to-follow instructions, that take you step by step through the set-up process, which is as uncomplicated as the design.

Once turned on the noise is very subtle. The only issue is in finding where to place the diffuser in your home, as you do need a

power outlet and for this reason it cannot be near water. The scent is extremely powerful; immediately the room is filled with the smell of oriental blossom.

There is an adjustable fragrance output, too. So, if you are in a home environment or small space we would suggest the lowest option.

The fragrance is quite pleasant and certainly not a cheap artificial smell. You really can recognise the notes within the fragrance. With a range scents to choose from, it's very important you choose one you can dentify with.

We recommend the Aromax as a stylish and contemporary option for a scent-sational home environment.

CoCA Opens its Doors Five years after the Christchurch earthquakes

closed its Gloucester Street gallery, the Centre of Contemporary Art (CoCA)

will open its doors to the public for the first time from 10am-5pm on Saturday, 13 February.

The gallery will then be open every day from 10am-5pm.

Director and Principal Curator Paula Orrell says, We have a spectacular building to share with everyone, and a really significant

exhibition to launch it with. The launch exhibition, Precarious Balance,

is a group exhibition of works by New Zealand and international contemporary artists.

Orrell says, It considers the balancing act of Christchurch, and how the city is rebuilding itself. It also explores a global question of imbalances in

society, and how contemporary artists are addressing social and political issues to consider a

counter perspective in precarious times.

can you explain the difference between a single malt whisky and blends? Single Malt Scotch Whisky can only come from one distillery, everything in that bottle will be from under one roof. Each distillery will have its own distinct character depending on its unique water source, location geographically, production techniques, shape of Pot Still and also the preferred style of cask used in maturation (e.g. American Oak, Sherry or a combination of both). Pot still distillation is a small batch style of distillation which can give varying characters from deeper, heavier spirit to purer, lighter, fruitier spirit.

Simply put, blended whisky will contain a combination grain and

many different malt whisky from all over Scotland, with each master bBlender having his own secret recipe. In most cases blended whiskies will be matured for only three years, which is the minimum time permitted to be called Scotch whisky although there are some five, eight,12-year superior, deluxe blends out there on the market.

what are the key flavours? There are many flavours and characters across the different single malts available. The flavour is going to be influenced greatly by the cask style used in maturation. American Oak, which will be anything from light to rich gold in colour in the glass, will give you butterscotch, vanilla, cinnamon, even sometimes hints

of dried coconut. Sherry casks, most commonly darker amber/ mahogany in colour, will impart a richer darker characters; raisin, dates, figs, dark chocolate all being very typical notes. Over the many years of maturation in the warehouse, it is important to never let the cask dominate the whisky, you always have to maintain the balance, making sure you can taste that particular distillery's character, which comes from its regional location and production techniques.

what do different regions offer, in terms of flavour? Scotland has such diverse landscapes which will offer so many characters whether from the water, climate or geographical location and

this will come across in the single malt produced in each region.

Lowlands will offer a lighter style spirit full of green apples, a crisp citrus and sweet barley character. The Islands obviously being coastal are going to be smokier in style due to the traditional burning of local peat in the drying of the barley at the malting stage. Speyside offers orchard fruits, even tropical fruits, in abundance on the palate, also contrasting spices and a rich nuttiness can be found.

The highlands cover the largest area and also has the most diverse landscape; the rugged coastline of the north, the higher mountain glens and the rolling fertile hills of the north east. There is a style for everyone, gentle coastal smoke, light heather honey sweetness or a heavy oily rich character its all there.

Winnie Bagoes Rangiora OpeningRetro posters and advertisements adorned the walls and the aroma of pizza haunted the building like a friendly ghost. The grand opening of Winnie Bagoes in the village of Rangiora has given a new destination for diners and a temptation to lure the tastebuds away from the city for a spell. Heavy wooden tables groaned under the weight of the fare which fuelled the party as more guests filed in. The welcoming atmosphere, an eclectic cocktail of decades and styles, was difficult to break away from when the time came to go home but, there is always another day at Winnie Bagoes.

SCIRT World Buskers Festival 2016 VIP Opening Night Pa rty

Down in the park where gentle summer breezes wafted, the sounds of entertainment were starting to be heard. Amid the leafy trees, guests were filing in to the arena which dominated the clearing as out of sight, buskers were warming up their skills for the night ahead. The fizz of wine in glasses sounded a merry prelude to the evening and the goodies proffered on laden platters, provided the perfect accompaniment. The VIP Opening Night party for the SCIRT World Buskers Festival 2016, signalled the beginning of ten days of fun and many reasons not to stay at home.

A CreAtive Mid-Life Crisis

While preparing for a new show coming to Christchurch this month, fabric artist Jenny Gillies talks to Victoria Tait about her artistic journey.

recently, i managed to steal an hour of a very busy Jenny Gillies' time, in between her rushing around getting the final set design organised. im currently approaching nine kilometres of cotton in one costume, she tells me. A multiple award winner in the Montana World of Wearable Arts, and creator and director of international performances, it appears to be Jennys quick wit and hilarious sense of humour that keep her so calm and down

to earth. it takes three months to make one costume, she tells me, And from the initial conception, the shape, form and idea of what the final outcome is continually evolves. This evolution is what she loves about the creative process.

she says she could not have achieved what she has over the past 20 years without the support and love of her family and husband John, an artist in his own right. Jenny says his

support and encouragement has really been what keeps her going, sometimes we have a creative moment together and really achieve a great outcome. she points to a picture of her husband dressed in one of her creations, Thistle, in her book FlorabunDance Wearable Flowers, saying and thats what an amazing husband will do for you.

Jenny refers to her career as her creative mid-life crisis and says that it really did take her

and her family by surprise. it seems, however, that she always had the talent to make a hugely successful career.

A passion for sewing and quilting from an early age gave Jenny the basis for her costuming. My mother was very talented at sewing and i found i had acquired her skills, says Jenny. initially she started designing and making costumes for her childrens theatre productions and then for st Andrew's College, which in turn was what lead to designing costumes for film, theatre and opera. finding that she had natural talent and flair she entered the Montana World of Wearable Art Awards show. Little did she know she would become a multiple award winner over the next 10 years.

realising her talent had matured, Jenny was ready for the next step in her career. i had a love for flowers and i loved sewing, so to me it was a natural union, says Jenny. in 1996, Jenny sent a model to the Christchurch races wearing a large sunflower hat and a green suit. The response was amazing and the next morning Jennys sunflower hat was on the front page of The Press. However, at this point no one knew who the creator of the hat was it was her friends who informed the media who she was, where she lived and anything else they needed to know. [it] was really the beginning of it all, she says. it was from this that the Christchurch floral Trust commissioned my first show in 1996, A Floral Fantasy. for this Jenny produced 24 floral costumes that were worn by ballet dancers. it was amazing to see how her costumes could come alive on

Designed by Warren & Mahoney for Summitbuild Construction, 26a Salisbury Street is the front unit in a three-apartment block. These high-end apartments have used an innovative building technology that is a first for Christchurch. I met with Summitbuild Construction director Joseph oDonnell, and Warren & Mahoney principal Daryl Maguire to find out why this apartment is so unique.

At 250 square metres, this dwelling is definitely pitched at the luxury end of the market. From the outside my eye is drawn to the soaring angular peaked roofline, which is a classic Warren & Mahoney style. The use of cedar and zinc on the exterior gives the building a timeless sophistication. Joseph oDonnell says, We really wanted a building that in years to come will be as iconic as some of Sir Miles Warren's early work I believe we achieved that.

on entering the apartment i am surprised by its size. rising over three levels and boasting two living rooms, four bedrooms, three bathrooms and four toilets, there is more than enough room for a growing family. The lower level comprises of three bedrooms and two bathrooms and has internal access from the garage. Beautiful timber stairs take me up to a large window and onto the second level.

its on entering the second level that this apartment truly comes to life. With high ceilings, large angular windows and neutral interior, the entire space gives you a sense of weightlessness. An open plan living, dining and kitchen area have been designed beautifully with a fully integrated kitchen and caeser-stone benchtop.

To the left of the living area is a formal lounge where I find myself in comfort and luxury. There are built in bookshelves, an Escea gas fire and sliding doors that lead to an entertaining area. This is the perfect place to curl up with a book during the winter months or entertain guests in the summer.

on the top level the master bedroom and ensuite is a sanctuary of its own. Completely private from the rest of the house, this area is truly designed for relaxation. Joseph oDonnell tells me, Sustainability and eco-friendly buildings are something we are passionate about, and that factored heavily into the design. This apartment is modern luxury. it makes me feel more like i am in los angeles than Victoria Street.

However, what I find truly remarkable is the innovative technology that has been used in the building construction. i am told that apart from the ground floor slabs, each house is constructed from cross-laminated timber panels. These are manufactured off-site by nelson-based company, XlaM. although cross-laminated products have been available internationally for about 30 years,

the timber product is relatively new in New Zealand. This is a very exciting product for Christchurch as the cross-laminated timber offers a lightweight alternative to concrete; a building constructed of cross-laminated timber will be around half the weight of a concrete building, which is a big plus for our new builds.

Daryl Maguire explains that in post-quake Christchurch, architects and builders views on construction processes have changed. We are looking for strength, lightness and speed and we believe the strong and innovative XLAM product will prove to be one of the new ways forward in new residential and commercial construction in Christchurch.

Daryl Maguire says that in their design, Warren and Mahoney decided to deliberately showcase the timber by exposing it in the ceiling, walls and floors. We have exposed and expressed the timber in selected locations. It has also been coated with a translucent whitewash so that the timber does not age or yellow. The effect of this gives the interior of the apartment a natural and warm feel.

The Salisbury Street apartments are the first multi-storey residential project in New Zealand to feature XlaM ClT panels. The result of this is a forward-thinking architecturally designed home that has really lifted the bar for construction in Christchurch.

Moving from its Hornby location to 237 Blenheim Road, Carpet Court's new concept store showcases a full range of products and pricing across carpet, vinyl, wood and laminate planking. As a concept store the customer is able to see and experience the flooring. In fact, the majority of the product is laid out on the shop floor, allowing customers to get an idea of the look and feel. The team remains the loyal Hornby crew with many years experience between them.

Seeing the products in large samples on the floor helps in understanding textures and colours as well as what combinations will work well together. You can take your shoes off, walk around and feel the textures of the carpet, and get sense of what hard flooring works with what carpet.

Talking with the team at Blenheim Road we find out what the trends are for 2016.

Current flooring trends Hard FlooringThere is a definite shift towards more hard-wood-inspired flooring in living and dining areas of the home. This is a European influence, says sales

consultant Donna-Maree Van Grinsven. We find customers are looking for thick, plush carpet in the bedrooms and more hard flooring in the living.

Because its more durable, hard flooring is better suited to our Kiwi lifestyle. One of the best-selling products at Carpet Court is the Quick Step Laminate, says Donna-Maree, This is a great product and perfect for the Christchurch climate, keeping the cool out in winter, and its UV-resistant for the summer and easy to maintain. The Quick Step Laminate flooring is also more scratch-resistant than wood, which makes for easy living. The Quick Step Impressive range has a 10-year wet area warranty thanks to its HydroSeal water-repellent coating on the bevels.

Lucy Wilkie of Frobisher Interiors offers some tips on how to best create a sophisticated home office that is stylish and functional.

A home office should never lack sophistication or elegance, it is a place to retreat to and be motivated. It is important to have objects around you that inspire and set the mood, whether that be a relaxed sofa or a chic armchair such as the Virginie Carver chair featured here. You need place in which you can focus and function.

When furnishing your office think of it as an extension of your home. It's nice to keep up to date with what is trending, but remember the room should reflect your personal style. It is also imperative to have adequate storage to house files and paperwork, or if they are on show make sure they are organised in a stylish and functional way.

Moving from its Hornby location to 237 Blenheim Road, Carpet Court's new concept store showcases a full range of products and pricing across carpet, vinyl, wood and laminate planking. As a concept store the customer is able to see and experience the flooring. In fact, the majority of the product is laid out on the shop floor, allowing customers to get an idea of the look and feel. The team remains the loyal Hornby crew with many years experience between them.

Seeing the products in large samples on the floor helps in understanding textures and colours as well as what combinations will work well together. You can take your shoes off, walk around and feel the textures of the carpet, and get sense of what hard flooring works with what carpet.

Talking with the team at Blenheim Road we find out what the trends are for 2016.

Current flooring trends Hard FlooringThere is a definite shift towards more hard-wood-inspired flooring in living and dining areas of the home. This is a European influence, says sales

consultant Donna-Maree Van Grinsven. We find customers are looking for thick, plush carpet in the bedrooms and more hard flooring in the living.

Because its more durable, hard flooring is better suited to our Kiwi lifestyle. One of the best-selling products at Carpet Court is the Quick Step Laminate, says Donna-Maree, This is a great product and perfect for the Christchurch climate, keeping the cool out in winter, and its UV-resistant for the summer and easy to maintain. The Quick Step Laminate flooring is also more scratch-resistant than wood, which makes for easy living. The Quick Step Impressive range has a 10-year wet area warranty thanks to its HydroSeal water-repellent coating on the bevels. With trends moving towards hard flooring sales consultant Eleanor Campbell says, Its a product that I feel reassured selling to a customer as there are so many benefits.

Design Trends Style explores the key influences of texture

and colour this season and how can you bring these trends into your home.

ChinoiserieChinoiserie sprang from the european notion of Chinese style, which dates back to the 17th century, when european explorers brought back art, pottery and furniture as well as elaborate depictions of design and culture. Various european monarchs, such as Louis XV of France, gave special favour to Chinoiserie. entire rooms at Chteau de Chantilly were painted with Chinoiserie compositions.

It was also popular in russia where Catherine the Great redesigned her rooms using

Chinoiserie interiors. Chinoiserie peaked in the 18th century, at which time it was commercialised due to the high demand.

By the 19th century it was superseded by the neoclassical era although it never really disappeared. We are now seeing contemporary interpretations of Chinoiserie in many designs. Including high use of colours, such as yellows and blues, textured fabrics, silks and velvets. Chinoiserie can bring texture and colour, instantly uplifting any room in the house.

Polished MetalDazzling, gold, silver and copper metal finishes is a trend that has been taken from the catwalk and is now available in home design. Create a utilitarian feel with polished metals in sparse white interiors, or an antique look by adding textured fabrics. Using the combination of all three metals gold, silver and copper will creates an exciting vibe.

BlueThink rich deep blues, lush velvet couches, and royal blue textured wallpapers. This trend has been sweeping Europe by storm throughout the autumn/winter seasons and will soon arrive at our doors. Mix blue furnishings with grey interiors for a sleek look, or to create old-world charm add deep greens and dark timber furnishings.

Remember, blue is a cold colour so you might want to offset this with warm colours; bright yellows and greens in soft furnishings will work well.

A GreAt City risinG

From commercial buildings to home interiors Christchurch now offers an eclectic impression of all our

individual styles. We are creating a new, better, stronger city than before, while still retaining the

history and past where we can.

WORDS VICTORIA TAIT

Now the earthquakes and media hype has subsided, I feel Im left living in a city of constant construction and demolition. The hammering noise of building has become so common its hard to remember what a normal city sounds like. Every time I head out on to the streets I am diverted to yet another new route, encounter more detours, or find myself waiting in traffic queues for a crane to move huge steel beams into place. My driveway is blocked with vehicles due to the next-door neighbours' repairs, and the streets themselves have been ripped up time and time again.

The stress of it all builds up so much that weeks and months will go by before a new building is noticed. However, we are not merely spectators, but part of creating a new city.

I was born and bred in Christchurch and have a true love for the city. My heart would sink each time I saw another building come down, it was like my childhood memories were been erased one street at a time. Soon I found it was hard to recall what

building was on a certain corner or what a street looked like before the earthquakes.

This in turn meant I couldnt appreciate how far Christchurch has come over the past five years. I now know I am living in what is and will be New Zealand's most architecturally renowned city.

Now, Ive started to take note by researching images and history of the places I loved in order to remember the past and look positively towards the future. Seeing the contrast of what has already been achieved makes me feel truly privileged to be part of the rebirth of a city.

Further to this I have come to notice that every person in this city is now making their own mark on the architecture and design, from commercial buildings to home interiors Christchurch is now an eclectic impression of all our individual styles.

In focus this month is historical restorations. Christchurch has lost so many of its historical buildings, it is fascinating to see the style and interpretation applied to those that have been saved.

Knox Church was first known as the North Belt Church, built in 1880 as a wooden church, designed by Samuel Far. In 1902, due to an increase in attendances, architects robert and Edward England designed a new building in the distinctive Gothic revival style. The original wooden building was replaced in 1964 with a modern annex, which still stands today. during the earthquakes, this building was severely damaged, leaving only the timber frame still standing. Wilkie and Bruce architects have taken the remaining wooden frame and recreated this building with a contemporary feel.

prior to the current Theatre royal there were two wooden theatres of the same name, one in 1863 and the next in 1876. Australian brothers Sydney and A.E. Luttrell designed the pre-quake brick theatre, with its classically inspired faade. This theatre opened with a performance of the musical comedy The Blue Moon to a packed house in February 1908. When the theatre was damaged in the February 22nd earthquake restoration looked almost impossible. However, a full restoration was undertaken, including the repair of the dome by Carolina Izzo, an internationally renowned, Wellington-based conservator, who trained in Florence, Italy. We now have our Grand old Lady back in all her Edwardian splendour.

These two projects are a perfect example how the new Christchurch is becoming a modern architecturally renowned city, that has taken the past and made a better future.
