Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about. Whether a family hub, an entertainer’s paradise or somewhere to grad a quick meal, how we live in and spend time in the kitchen is a very personal question that requires thought and an abundance of resources. Always the aspirational eye candy of design, we have some truly lovely kitchens from Greg Natale, YSG, Splinter Society, Sally Caroline and Studio Johnston. Bathrooms are just as important with Greg Natale, Studio Tate, YSG and Those Architects sharing some fabulous insights

SAW Bike Tours

The Sydney Architecture Walks program includes some fantastic bike tours
taking in some of the city’s most intriguing, often hidden,
architectural experiences.


The Sydney Architecture Walks program has been a successful part of the design calendar for many years. The program includes a fantastic bike tour for those who like to pedal their way around Sydney’s architectural past, present and future.

The upcoming tours will take in 5 of Sydney’s diverse and rapidly changing inner-city suburbs – Ultimo, Chippendale, Redfern, Waterloo and Surry Hills – taking in a number of “contemporary projects, contested sites and politically charged themes”.Over 5 hours, cyclists will see and discuss a range of buildings from architects such as FJMT, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer, Harry Seidler and Ian Moore, while looking into the future of the city with designs by international architects Frank Gehry, Jean Nouvel and Lord Rogers.

We just have to include SAW’s description of the tours, as it sums them up so well: “This is no touristic join-the-dots of familiar places. It’s an exploration of a very different side of Sydney – an insider’s tour with a two-wheeled architectural twist.”

You can enjoy this tour from $80 and can also hire a bike and helmet. Or, if you know an architecture nut who’s also bananas about bikes, SAW has gift vouchers too.
