The 'Future' Issue

Habitus #64 Welcome to the HABITUS ‘Future’ and ‘Habitus House of the Year’ Issue. We are thrilled to have interior designer of excellence, Brahman Perera, as Guest Editor and to celebrate his Sri Lankan heritage through an interview with Palinda Kannangara and his extraordinary Ek Onkar project – divine! Thinking about the future, we look at the technology shaping our approach to sustainability and the ways traditional materials are enjoying a new-found place in the spotlight. Profiles on Yvonne Todd, Amy Lawrance, and Kallie Blauhorn are rounded out with projects from Studio ZAWA, SJB, Spirit Level, STUDIOLIVE, Park + Associates and a Lake House made in just 40 days by the wonderful Wutopia Lab, plus the short list for the Habitus House of the Year!

Ohtel, Wellington

Australia

Forget hobbits and hills. New Zealand’s hip new boutique hotel is a destination for the style savvy traveller.


Ohtel perches on a cliffside at the end of Wellington’s Oriental Parade. It’s contemporary 4 storey structure stands overlooking a jutting marina, the harbour waters of Oriental Bay and the Waitangi Park. This 10-room boutique hotel sits adjacent to Wellington’s principal entertainment precinct and is en route to the city from the international airport.

 

 

Praised for its Mid-Century furnishings, Ohtel offers a combination of modern and retro interior furnishings and unique Kiwi décor. Eclectic wall clocks and paintings provide a bright interior aesthetic, whilst timber furnishings maintain the warmth of a cosy holiday getaway.

 

 

 

The key design feature of each room design is the bathroom, built with stretched glass walls and a luxurious two-person bath and shower. In winter, guests can illuminate the contemporary low-sitting fireplace and enjoy the underfloor heating.

 

 

 

With a tagline ‘Ohtel, Get a Room’, you know this place is going to be funky. Pack your trendiest threads and jet off to Australia’s nextdoor neighbour this holiday season.
