KebbellDaish has been included in a special feature article in ArchitectureNZ magazine called 'Looking for Edges'. Guest Editor Tony Van Raat, Head of the Department of Architecture at Unitec in Auckland, selected KebbellDaish as one of fourteen architects for the feature. He says in his introduction that "...each is an example of that worthy cause: the battle against the bland. We could do with more of this architecture, and more of these architects."

Sam Kebbell talked to Kathryn Ryan about architecture, Iran and building culture on National Radio's nine to noon programme.

A house and studio for artist Peter Adsett has been completed in Shoreham, a small village on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. The house, now referred to as the Humbug, set out to bring art and architecture together: the nod to Daniel Buren's famous stripes being perhaps being the most obvious.

KebbellDaish has been awarded a research grant this summer to develop ideas that have been implemented in recent built projects by KebbellDaish into a broader theoretical framework. The grant strengthens both KebbellDaish and Victoria University as they both work towards stronger ties between the broad ideas, principles, and research of academia and the specific opportunities of contemporary practice.
