Poll: Jandals shaped the feet of a nation. What are the new jandals?

Join us as we explore what Kiwi culture looks like in neighbourhoods across the country. In the coming weeks, you'll notice a few posts about Kiwi innovations popping up across Neighbourly - we'd love for you engage and let us know what innovations and innovators you think need profiling!

The evolution of the New Zealand state house

Housing New Zealand

The state houses of the 1930s and 40s are part of the fabric of New Zealand society. Hundreds of thousands of us have lived in one, or next to one. They have a reputation for having “good bones” and, today, they’re often seen as tidy, blank canvases for home buyers to breathe new life into.

The state houses of the 1930s and 40s are part of the fabric of New Zealand society. Hundreds of thousands of us have lived in one, or next to one. They have a reputation for having “good bones” and, today, they’re often seen as tidy, blank canvases for home buyers to breathe new life into.

Fast-forward 80 years, and Housing New Zealand is still building high-quality, state-of-the-art homes that are winning awards and setting a new standard for state housing.

Take a journey through the evolution of the state house, from its humble beginnings to the warm, healthy, modern homes we’re building today.

This 'free' session is being held on Tuesday 16 October 5:30 - 6:30pm at UXBRIDGE Arts & Culture, 35 Uxbridge Road, Howick. Everyone welcome so come and have a go but please book in below so we have room for you uxbridge.org.nz...

The pace of this class is taken nice and slowly, more than mainstream yoga. Postures that place strain on the lower back and joints are avoided. The emphasis is on how it feels, not how it looks.
The gentle nature of yoga makes it the ideal exercise as we age. Chair options will be provided for those who are not comfortable getting up and down on to the floor.
