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.

Built by the beach in a leafy subtropical idyll, the simplest of bathing facilities make the most of the great outdoors.


It’s rare that you can say that a landscape designer is so intimately involved in designing a home’s new bathing facilities – but here it’s clear that this bathroom’s subtropical surrounds are every bit as important an element as the tiles and the taps. In fact it’s the custom-designed outdoor shower that sees more action than the indoor facilities adjacent.

Created as part of a low-maintenance beach house, a short walk from Little Cove Beach, next to Queensland’s Noosa National Park, the owners wanted a robust yet relaxed house that required minimal effort to maintain.
