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.

Pulling Back the Veil

We have a sneak peek at what’s coming out in our next issue of Habitus magazine – including a preview of Terrace House 1 by Dreamer.


Showing that bigger does not necessarily mean better, Terrace House 1 by Dreamer is an alteration and addition project in Melbourne’s Ascot Vale, with a clever redesign that connects to greenery.

A new level has been added to accommodate the new main bedroom suite, including the addition of a green roof. Given the owner’s penchant for gardening, it’s an inclusion that brings endless joy.

Lighting and materiality come together effortlessly to create a gentle ambience that is warm and welcoming, including a recycled and re-milled Tasmanian messmate timber sealed with beeswax, which has been used in the bedroom, alongside polished concrete and timber throughout.

Dive deep into this beautiful renovation project in issue #51 of Habitus magazine – the Kitchen & Bathroom Annual.

In addition to covering six outstanding homes from across the Indo Pacific, issue #51 will also explore the ways Kitchen & Bathroom spaces can transcend the every day.

We look at resort bathrooms for inspiration in creating sanctuaries and retreats in our homes, and at outdoor dining as a natural extension to the kitchen and living space.

Pre-order your copy of Habitus #51 – the Kitchen & Bathroom special now. Habitus will be out at leading newsagents and on Zinio from 17 June.
