The Press At Home A Guide to Creating Your Perfect Home (Random House, 2008)

Written and compiled by Press At Home editor David Killick, with many of the photographs also by the author, this full-color book is divided into two parts. The first part embarks on a room-by-room guide to help you create a perfect home. It also explores issues such as choosing a designer, energy-efficiency, and landscaping.

Part Two visits a dozen South Island homes. They range from a house built amid a rocky outcrop in Golden Bay, to an architect’s eco-friendly new home in Nelson, to another architects uncompromisingly modern new family home in Christchurch, to a multi-million dollar home in Queenstown with a mountain backdrop.
