    • It has been a horror filled week with over a dozen people murdered in France and now news of the Boko Haram massacre.

• • Good infill

    • 8 Dec 2014
    • Iona Pannett
    • Infill housing deservedly gets a bad rap, but here's a great example on The Terrace in Wellington. If more could be built like that, we would make faster progress to a truly medium density city.

    • Another neighbourhood eatery for me, joining the excellent Ortega, Mt Victoria Chippery and deli all along Marjoribanks Street. A welcome addition to the culinary offering around Mt Vic.

    • Some much needed activation in the under utilised Civic Square. Impressed, obviously a hit.

• • My favourite Wellington buildings - Spinks Cottage

    • 5 Nov 2014
    • Iona Pannett
    • This lovely cottage on Dixon Street, Te Aro, is located close to the house that I was brought up in. An attractive companion to the historic church, I'm pleased that a proposal a few years ago to lift it up and include a modern addition failed.

• • Harcourts - Court says no to demolition

    • 1 Nov 2014
    • Iona Pannett
    • Great news today that the Environment Court has for the second time said no to demolishing the Harcourts building on Lambton Quay. The decision just made public essentially has vindicated the Council position: that our District Plan sets a high bar for demolishing heritage buildings and that in this case, the bar was not reached. Interestingly, the Court also found no fundamental conflict between the operation of the Building and Resource Management Acts and found that leaving the building standing would not fundamentally compromise public safety.

• • Is the ugliest building in Wellington?

    • 31 Oct 2014
    • Iona Pannett
    • Great news that NZ owned TSB Bank has signed for another 10 year sponsorship deal for the Arena on the waterfront but I do think this is the worst building in the city - monolithic, no architectural merit, still do not know how it got oonsent. Needs a wrecking ball through it and a redesign.

• • The tide is turning and Green is becoming mainstream

    • 29 Oct 2014
    • Iona Pannett
    • Today, I felt optimistic as I sat in a room of property developers and other related professionals to talk about the future of the Northern end of the CBD including a small part of Thorndon, there was no talk of flyovers, denial of climate change and the inequality that exists througout the world.

• • New apartment living

    • 21 Oct 2014
    • Iona Pannett
    • The refurbished apartment building at the bottom of the Dixon Street stairs in Te Aro was once a run down boarding house, now it has been converted into some lovely apartments in a fantastic location. The owner has done a great job - a good alternative who want to live in an apartment but on a small scale.

    • Just on the way to work and I snapped this picture on the waterfront. Lucky we are to live in a such a great environment. The 2014 Quality of Life survey results today show Wellingtonians say our city is a great place to live and do business but we of course knew that already.
