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.

BeoSound 8

At the more affordable end of the Bang & Olufsen product line this
new speaker dock represents the unmistakable B&O style.

The BeoSound 8 is being touted as their first audio system made specifically for iPod, iPhone and iPad. With its two conical speakers, there’s little more to this new product, aside from the expected B&O quality.

You can, of course, connect your Apple portable device, but you can also connect wirelessly using Apple Airport Express to stream music straight from your PC.

The unit comes with a remote and can be controlled with one of B&O’s remotes (or control the volume with one of their telephones!). The company will soon be launching an App for streaming radio straight to your i-device.

BeoSound 8 can be wall-hung or placed anywhere in the home, with an acoustic adaptation switch for optimal sound quality no matter where you choose to rest it.

The BeoSound 8 comes with either black or white speaker covers, but you’ve got the option of buying coloured covers in yellow, green, purple and lavender blue for an additional $75 a pair.

You can pick one up for a RRP of $1,490
