Cityscape Issue 108

Big happenings in not-so-little Ōtautahi

This winter we’re all about cosy spaces and grand developments bringing new facets to Christchurch. We explore historic buildings in Addington and Cathedral Square finding innovative new leases on life as food, drink, entertainment, offices and accommodation.

Have you heard of YEN Gin? It’s the newest gin made right here in Christchurch, and it’s being launched with a collectible NFT (it’s like Bitcoin, but it’s art). Delicious, beautiful, and very 21st Century.

We’ve lined up a lot of seriously cool Christchurch and national celebrities to hear what they’ve got to say about life, Aotearoa, Ōtautahi, and this season’s upcoming events and tours.Hear from the likes of Christchurch rockers Emma Dilemma and Sam Heselwood (and Julia Deans of Fur Patrol fame!); drag queen Buckwheat; artists Duncan Nash, Dr Suits, Janna van Hasselt and Ann Ciciani; and comedian Jo Ghastly.

And we hear from our regular contributors: experts on fashion, landscape architecture, wellbeing, beer, and interior design. Speaking of interior design, we’ve got your guide to the latest and greatest trends in the design world, straight out of the showrooms of Milan and New York. On the local design scene, check out our piece on Nightworks Studio. And we take a look at King of Snake’s wicked new location on The Terrace and its hidden gem – a high fidelity ‘listening bar’ called Monarch.
