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.

A Fusion of Architecture and Nature

Gessi aims to fulfil the desire to blend nature with architecture in people’s private habitats, envisioning the bathroom not only as a place for regeneration and well-being but also as a truly natural shelter.


In order to achieve a design that could shape the fusion between architecture and landscape, Gessi conducted research in South Eastern Asia, where ancient culture and nature enters gracefully into the house and the living space expands in uninterrupted continuity towards the outside.

In this area, craftsmanship and design produce a remarkable distillation of traditional shapes and natural materials into extraordinarily fine contemporary furnishings.

During a journey among the lush scenery and the dwellings in South Eastern Asia, designer and sculptor Prospero Rasulo captured the sun filtering light cones across vegetation. The architectural form describes his ideal fusion of architecture and nature – The Cone – became the new “sign” of Gessi.
