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.

Habitus House of the Year returns! Explore the 20 inspiring houses in the 2023 Selection

Each year Habitus House of the Year shines a spotlight on the most unique residential architecture and design from across the Indo Pacific region. Now it’s time for you to dive into the list.


Habitus House of the Year is a completely unique program that unabashedly celebrates the most incredible houses – as featured online and in print throughout the year.

The 20 hand-picked homes have been whittled down by the Indesign Media editorial board, meaning that, unlike other initiatives, Habitus House of the Year is an accolade that cannot be entered.

Covering an array of apartments, large family homes, unexpected renovations and architectural feats, every single house in the line-up epitomises the long-running ethos that has underpinned Habitus – to share the stories of the people and products behind the design as a vehicle for showing the many different ways of living in design.

For Habitus House of the Year 2023, we have once again curated a remarkable line-up of homes. Now we invite you to join the journey and tell us which one you think deserves to be crowned the People’s Choice winner, by doing so you could take home a gorgeous $8,000 Design Hunter package filled with homewares and furniture.

Congratulations to all those shortlisted! Habitus House of the Year is made possible in collaboration with our Major Partners – Kaolin Tiles, KFive Furniture and Technogym, and trophy partner Axolotl.
