A house after the quakes. One creative home comes down, another goes up, the new silhouetting the old, reminding, resettling. But where the villa sat square and inward, the new layers out across the southern view, shaping to the silhouette for light, and framing a greater appreciation of the everyday. Post quake, daily querks and small things have renewed interest : hanging a pot plant, drying a wetsuit, following cat-tracks… Life goes on, remaining (like Lyttleton) modest, informal, busy, and full of the same eclectic furniture and stories as before… but represented and ready for more.
