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.

Neeson Murcutt’s Castlecrag project on Radio National

Australia

Hear from Architect Rachel Neeson as she takes By Design’s Janne Ryan on a tour of the award-winning Castlecrag project.

Join an audio tour of the four-level family house in Castlecrag on Sydney Harbour that won Neeson’s firm the Australian Institute of Architect’s 2011 Robin Boyd Award (one of Australia’s most important awards for a house).

A substantial re-development of an old family house, its palette is re-cycled bricks, steel and timber, and concrete. The house sits in the sandstone in the Australian bush overlooking Sydney Harbour; due to this site, it is built to be as safe as possible in bush fires.
