Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Kitchens and bathrooms are, arguably, the most consequential rooms in the home — and almost always the first to be considered. Whether approached through renovation or new build, their design has the power to recalibrate how a home is lived in and experienced. For this issue, our guest editor, Mardi Doherty, principal of Studio Doherty, explores what it truly means to transform these pivotal spaces — and why thoughtful design in kitchens and bathrooms delivers dividends far beyond the purely functional. Her insights both as an architect and as her own client give an open and honest account of the thinking behind creating a home.

What’s the history of your company?
After a long history of wholesale distribution (since 1920), a new era for the company was born when Gibbon Group launched Tretford Cord Carpet in 1995. Gibbon Group expanded from being Queensland based to a national presence and subsequently moved beyond flooring to include products like Ambro Luminate Doors, Tables & Panels which added to their niche and very unique portfolio.

What are your client’s priorities at the moment?
Environmental focus, quality product and great design/functionality


What is good design to you?

Something that stands the test of time and as it ages, maintains its beauty and integrity. In today’s focus on sustainability, good design to us means something that is beautiful yet simple – something that can be dismantled at the end of its life and be reused again and again.
