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.

Stylecraft has opened their doors and expanded their view

A new Sydney showroom under a new guise – StylecraftHOME – caters to the residential and commercial sector, and answers to Australian design as well as international brands.

Fore more than 60 years Stylecraft has been the go-to for high-end, original and contemporary furniture for the commercial, educational and hospitality markets. The new venture, dubbed StylecraftHOME sees the Australian-based, Asia-Pacific focused retailer move into a new market, that of the home.

A breakfast was held in celebration of, and in, the new Sydney flagship store at 100 William Street, Woolloomooloo; the former Westfield Tower and one of the most prominent buildings in the inner Sydney district.

The pastel-infused showroom, designed by Matt Sheargold of international design practice, HASSEL, displays a carefully curated selection of lounging, dining, home office and outdoor furniture from the Australian designers and international brands Stylecraft represents. To complement the space is a selection of accessories from Top3 by Design.
