upfront

Values First • Kennedy Nolan, after 27 years and counting, is driving a values-led approach to architecture that prioritises community, respect for First Nations cultures, and sustainable practice.

Radiating Cool • From Brisbane to Baghdad and back, this house flips the dominant architectural narrative of light-breezy-buildings-for-hot-climates on its head.

specifications

Even Flow • Sometimes the mark of a renovation is less about the house and more about giving its residents a place in the outdoors.

specifications

Caboose • Slotted into a hillside with not much wriggle room, one simple volume transforms this cosy Wellington family home.

specifications

In Abundance • Far beyond its impressive energy rating, this owner-built home integrates feng shui, geomancy and habitat to create uplifting spaces where life can flow

specifications

Next Level • A remaking, an evolved version, an archetype refined; a new build reworks the classic corrugated iron shed.

specifications

Second Skin • Architect Joan Martí Morro Capllonch set himself a radical constraint: to build a shelter using only what already existed on a rural Mallorca site. The result is a modest, resourceful refuge that rethinks waste, self-sufficiency and the material intelligence of building with what is already there.

upfront garden

Cultural Growth • Melbourne duo Cultural Gardens is helping schools and community organisations establish and program indigenous gardens as spaces for cultural practice, learning and community connection.

Cottage Industry • A bit tired and depleted, this Melbourne backyard has been transformed into a gently swaying, soft and rambling space in a matter of months.

Mother Earth • A festival of farming lands in the Otways, spreading optimism, hope (and fun) for regenerative agriculture.
