The Habitus LiveLife Design Hunter Series looks to better existing practices within the residential architecture and design sphere. It seeks to do so through panel discussions and interactive Q&A sessions. The discussions will be held between senior members of the editorial team, industry heavyweights, and emerging trailblazers. Current practices and design solutions are discussed – their pros and cons – as well as postulating alternatives that build on existing solutions in response to deficiencies and flaws.

Who’s Heading Up These Design Discussions?
Holly Cunneen, Deputy Editor of Habitus
Holly focuses her time and professional output toward writing, researching and editing bespoke editorial content about architecture and design, particularly within our local Asia Pacific region. With a firm view that “design has a shared responsibility to the individual as much as it does to the wider community,” her personal and professional trajectory sees her chart the interests, accomplishments, hypocrisies, crises and triumphs of the A+D community.
Alice Blackwood, Co-Editor of Indesign
Alice is a recognised thought-leader in the Australian A+D community. From her base in Melbourne her presence, reach and influence extends across the Asia Pacfic region. As the former Editor of DQ, and now the Co-Editor of Indesign, it was in her formative years that she found her love of design and writing: “somewhere between childhood pottery classes and high school English assignments”.
