St Andrews College Centennial Chapel Christchurch by Architectus

But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.

Elton Group’s $5,000 Think Good Micro-Grant is calling for designers and makers with a bold idea

Late night rethinks, endless material testing and prototyping, half-finished or abandoned projects – the work behind-the-scenes work is often where ideas come undone. Elton Group’s Think Good Micro-Grant – a $5,000 annual fund now open for applications – exists to back this kind of unseen effort.
