Homes of This Decade is an architectural record of New Zealand's most exceptional residential design from the past ten years. Written by Clare Chapman and Federico Monsalve, and brought to life through photography by Simon Devitt, Jackie Meiring, Samuel Hartnett, David Straight and Simon Wilson, this substantial hardcover captures the evolving language of contemporary architecture in Aotearoa.

Across 328 pages it presents 38 carefully selected houses, each chosen for its contribution to the way we live, build and engage with landscape today. From urban insertions that rethink density to remote homes that settle quietly into their surroundings, the projects reflect a decade of architectural ambition, innovation and restraint.

Through editorial insight and beautifully composed imagery, it explores how New Zealand architecture has responded to shifting lifestyles, environmental awareness and changing aspirations. It is both a retrospective and a celebration of the ideas shaping residential design here, and it sits naturally within our interiors and architecture books.
