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

Pepper Tree Passive House by Alexander Symes Architect

Showing what’s possible with both an infill home and executed to the highly rigorous standards of passive house design principles, Pepper Tree Passive House nestles beneath the canopy of a large tree.

The new addition is a second dwelling on the home and respects the existing site and landscape. Internally the home is defined by an extensive use of oriented strand board.

“My client wanted to show that you can preserve biodiversity and do these kinds of infill projects to a high standard. He also wanted to demonstrate to his clients the high level of quality that can be achieved,” says Symes on how the project came to be.
