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 Carole Whiting

On episode 5 of Dialling In With Habitus, we speak to Carole Whiting about her transition from advertising to interior design and navigating digital friendships and working relationships amongst her close-knit team.

Carole Whiting has been running her self titled, multi-disciplinary design studio for 3.5 years. Before then, she had worked in a range of workplaces and within a variety of set ups. During her time working in film, television and advertising she travelled immensely and got very used to working on the go. Following this there was a period spent working out of a home office. Recent years have seen her work alongside her team of 4-5 in a cosy studio space in Melbourne.

Fast forward to now and, like most of us, suddenly they’re all working from home. With change comes challenges but also revelations says Carole and while the rhythm is different it’s not necessarily better or worse. Today, we welcome Carole Whiting on Dialling In With Habitus as she shares lessons in adaptability alongside colleagues, collaborators and clients.
