Issue 66

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.

Dialling In With Vokes And Peters

On episode 7 of Dialling In With Habitus, we speak to Stuart Vokes and Aaron Peters of Brisbane-based Vokes and Peters. Their practice is enriched by a deep and mutual respect for one another that has grown over the years.

In 2015 Stuart Vokes and Aaron Peters established the now well-known and frequently celebrated architecture studio Vokes and Peters. However the duo had been working alongside each other for a long time prior – since the time Stuart was a teacher and Aaron a student.

The impetus to start a practice together was not only the recognition of shared values and ambitions, but also a sense of comradery and the strong value they each attached to the friendship and professional support they gave one another.

In the five years since foundation, Vokes and Peters has received numerous architecture awards including the Habitus House of the Year award for Interior and Exterior Connection for Teneriffe House in 2019.

On this episode of Dialling In With Habitus we speak to Stuart and Aaron about the lessons learnt for better and for worse of the recent weeks.
