PONTAHI HOUSE, NEW ZEALAND :

CATHERINE GRIFFITHS (NEW ZEALAND GRAPHIC DESIGNER ) : The Pontahi House is a private residence encapsulated with 120 etched glass panels with texts by a former New Zealand poet laureate. Griffiths had the opportunity to work on Pontahi House after she completed another typographical-sculpture treatment to honor local writers and poets. She suggested to the home's owners who were art lovers of all kinds to "wrap their house in literature."
