Herbst: Architecture in Context

John Walsh

Lance and Nicola Herbst established Herbst Architects in 2000 and since then their office has become one of New Zealand's leading architecture practices. Eight New Zealand Architecture Awards and 20 Branch Awards testify to its peers' respect. In this handsome book, leading architecture writer John Walsh focuses on key Herbst projects that exemplify the practice's reputation for creating buildings that are exquisitely detailed, legible, materially expressive, located in a lineage of New Zealand craft architecture, and acutely sensitive to place and context. Beautifully designed, and with photographs by well-known architecture photographers Patrick Reynolds, Sam Hartnett, Simon Devitt, Jackie Meiring and Simon Wilson, this book should be part of every architecture-book collection.
