Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about. Whether a family hub, an entertainer’s paradise or somewhere to grad a quick meal, how we live in and spend time in the kitchen is a very personal question that requires thought and an abundance of resources. Always the aspirational eye candy of design, we have some truly lovely kitchens from Greg Natale, YSG, Splinter Society, Sally Caroline and Studio Johnston. Bathrooms are just as important with Greg Natale, Studio Tate, YSG and Those Architects sharing some fabulous insights

THE HOLMAN HOUSE

Australia

Durbach Block Architects designed the award winning House Holman in 2004.


Some houses are born famous and some houses become famous. This iconic Sydney home that sits teetering over the cliffs at Dover Heights is one that was born famous. As controversial in its planning stages as it is now universally admired, the Durbach Block house has become a favourite and a classic in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

Durbach Block say of the project: “The plan of Holman House refers to Picasso’s painting The Bather. It contains a complex series of fluid living spaces set within a meandering perimeter that arcs, folds and stretches in response to sun, landscape and views.”

“Living and dining areas cantilever out over the ocean, allowing dramatic views up and down the coast.”

“The lower floor forms a base that is built from rough stone walls like an extension of the cliff below.These walls continue along the cliff edge to form a series of eccentric terraced gardens and a vase-shaped rock pool.”
