  • From Dwelling to Destination: on New Zealand’S House Museums
    ♥ Art Literature Theatre Music Screen Society Loose Canons Knockouts News Videos Events Art 20.07.2018 From Dwelling to Destination: On New Zealand’s House Museums By Sebastian Clarke Sebastian Clarke on the character and reputation of our most idiosyncratic institutions. I will eschew any suspense and begin with an admission: I’m a hound for house museums. I seek out these introspective havens peppered throughout Aotearoa with great fervour. My self-appointed role as loyal advocate for our house museums emerged not by epiphany, but thanks to a scratchy, woven basket. Said basket resides in Nelson’s Isel House, a dollhouse of a building that greets visitors with a full face of hand-shaped local boulders sweetly framed by slim, red bricks. It may be the most unremarkable item in a house abounding in extravagant furniture and Sèvres porcelain, but from its upstairs station, this basket looks out to the parkland that embraces Isel House. Wood splints are collected from the park, planted by the house’s first resident, to make baskets like the one that refuses to be erased from my memory. This basket glows with a fiercely local provenance, and reminds me that experiencing interior spaces and objects so soaked in history is like time-travel – magic. However, as I encounter more of these memory palaces, buildings so rapt with the past, I cannot help but wonder about their precarious future. Image courtesy Ngaio Marsh House Trust. The straightforward term ‘house museum’ describes, in correct order, a transformation from dwelling to destination. A trigger for us to reread the rooms.

  • Before Dunedin City Council Decision of Commissioners Appointed by Dunedin City Council 4 June 2013
    BEFORE DUNEDIN CITY COUNCIL IN THE MATTER of the Resource Management Act 1991. AND IN THE MATTER an application for resource consent from Betterways Advisory Limited to construct and operate a 27-storey hotel at 41 Wharf Street, Dunedin. Land Use: LUC-2012-212 DECISION OF COMMISSIONERS APPOINTED BY DUNEDIN CITY COUNCIL 4 JUNE 2013 Commissioners: Colin Weatherall (Chair), Dunedin Kate Wilson, Middlemarch Andrew Noone, Waikouaiti John Lumsden, Christchurch DECISION 1 Having carefully considered all the relevant reports and documentation supplied with the application, submissions, and the evidence presented to us during the course of the hearing, we have resolved to refuse the application from Betterways Advisory Limited to construct and operate a licensed hotel with residential apartments at 41 Wharf Street, Dunedin. 2 Since the proposal is a non-complying activity we were required to consider the particular restrictions imposed by s.104D in the Resource Management Act 1991. This requires the proposal to pass at least one of two tests. Having considered these, we were not satisfied that the adverse effects on the environment would be minor (s.104D(1)(a)), and nor were we satisfied that the activities associated with the application would not be contrary to the objectives and policies of the Dunedin City District Plan (s.104D(1)(b)). Having made these determinations, in terms of s.104D, we were unable to grant consent. 3 Throughout Chapter 6 of this decision we considered the environmental effects that were brought to our attention and have drawn our own conclusions as to how each of these issues impacted on this decision.
