Australia's leading sustainable architecture and landscape design magazine for inspirational stories on local and international houses, gardens and profiles.
Welcome to the 105th issue of green. ‘Staying within the envelope’ is an architectural expression that could be interpreted as ‘being clever with what you have’. Which is exactly what was planned by a family of four for their sweet bungalow in Auckland. Given the opportunity to renovate, all they requested was a reconfiguration to allow light into the living spaces and the ability to access the garden through a wider opening. What they got was a revelation of light, the perception of space through transparency and smart interior design. Plus, they managed to squeeze in an extra toilet, all within the original footprint of 106 square metres.
For each of the homes in this issue, the design intention has been efficiency of space, whether it be a small holiday home or an inner-city terrace where retaining outdoor space is more valuable than expanding the indoors.
In fact, that outdoor space, in a dense urban environment becomes so precious when you consider that it has the potential to restore natural systems. In this issue we look at a group that practices ecological restoration and landscaping to transform even the tiniest gardens into conservation hotbeds.
Our Upfront pages are full of smart initiatives, from a 21-square-metre mobile home to the creative response from one of Melbourne’s felled plane trees. A New Normal has once again united the cream of the country’s architects, designers and artists to find solutions to the key issues of the moment and some great minds have built a solar-powered, carbon sequestering school that is built with near zero-waste as a place for learning with a regenerative focus. Great stuff.
