The Life Outside Issue

Introducing the Life Outside issue of Habitus magazine. With life increasingly being absorbed into a digital space, there is never a more important moment to hold something tangible. In this context, the power of nature to have a physiological impact on our sense of wellbeing has never been more important. So how can we cultivate the benefits of the our natural environment in the most intimate of places – our homes? This was the question that helped to bring this issue of Habitus to life.

Alternative Surfaces In Melbourne’s Most Instagrammable Space

Australia

Alternative Surfaces have once again waved their magic-trowel at Melbourne’s latest creative studio, the Highline.


For creative professionals, Highline is a space that has been designed to inspire and has quickly become the most instagrammable space in Fitzroy. Originally an old denim factory, the space’s industrial charm has been brought to life by a meticulous renovation. The natural-light filled studio boats sky-high ceilings, white walls, glass partitions and over 300 square meters of seamless X-Bond floors which has been filled with furnishings from Louis Ghost, Meizai, Click On and uniquely shaped carpet tiles from Vorwerk Carpets.

To help create the perfect blank canvas, Alternative Surfaces hand-applied their X-Bond flooring on-top of the existing concrete slab, which spans throughout the entrance, stairway, kitchen, bathrooms, offices, styling-suite and break-out areas. The X-Bond floor has withstood fashion runway shows, private functions, weddings, workshops and photoshoots.

For those who aren’t familiar with X-Bond, it is a seamless stone overlay system, which is hand applied at 3mm thick onto an existing substrate of concrete, compressed sheeting or tiles.

Find out just how versatile X-Bond is by visiting Alternative Surfaces website – and, if you’re looking for a space to conceptualize and collaborate visit the Highline
