One of the old cottages was the one famously used by Katherine Mansfield<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_96_1('footnote_plugin_reference_96_1_3');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_96_1('footnote_plugin_reference_96_1_3');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_96_1_3\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[3]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_96_1_3\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\"><span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/life-style\/home-property\/81953127\/katherine-mansfields-former-weekend-hideaway-restored-after-storm-damage<\/span><\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_96_1_3').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_96_1_3', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script>. The new house makes extensive use of concrete and is heavily reinforced against the sea. The house is heavily orthogonal in its design, but the natural rocks in the foreground are not like this. The rocks have adapted to the ocean and appear immovable; the concrete house will eventually suffer the same fate as the previous house. Could a house built more organically survive? Could a house be built to weather, abrade, and adapt to it&#8217;s location?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wooden walkway was also built as the result of the storm. Since then, it has been heavily damaged at least twice. I still have a thick stainless steel bolt that I picked up from the beach after one event. It had been torn out of the walkway, and was also bent and starting to corrode. I remember at the time feeling like it was nature saying to the builders, &#8220;screw you and your bolt &#8211; this isn&#8217;t your place, it&#8217;s mine&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instance #5.

I built this fence. It was designed to fit around the Pohutakawa tree. I didn&#8217;t dig holes into the tree root system to place fence posts into concrete, which would have involved severing root, and also leach chemicals and alkalinity; instead, I had inert steel ground screws installed that make will have minimal impact on the tree. The treatment of the posts is organic, and won&#8217;t be toxic to the tree. The fence is bolted and screwed together, rather than using cheaper nails. It&#8217;s designed so that it can be taken apart and amended as the tree grows, rather than being fixed and constraining to the tree&#8217;s growth, which may have resulted in damage to both the fence and the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.
