REPURPOSED

About the Book

Repurposed: New Zealand Homes Using Upcycled Materials and Spaces by Catherine Foster is a home-design book showcasing houses that creatively reuse existing buildings, materials and spaces. The book explores how owners have transformed unconventional structures into distinctive homes while incorporating recycled and repurposed furnishings.

Creative Reuse in Home Design

The book features 20 homes across New Zealand, including converted industrial and farm buildings, army barracks, churches, containers and urban spaces. Each project demonstrates different approaches to adapting existing structures and using reclaimed materials in residential design.

Sustainable Ideas and Distinctive Interiors

Alongside architectural ideas, Repurposed explores interiors furnished with vintage and repurposed industrial pieces.
