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.

Last Night With Adele Bates

After 5 years running her eponymous multi-disciplinary design practice, Adele Bates takes a moment to relax, reflect and most importantly – celebrate!

On Thursday 19 October, MAIÀ Restaurant & Bar in Docklands, Melbourne, was a sea of colleagues, clients and friends within the architecture and design industry celebrating the success of Adele Bates design.

Founded in 2012, the studio today stands as a multi-disciplinary design practice working across residential, multi-residential, hospitality, retail and commercial projects.

The entire studio shares Adele’s experience in design – offering a range of specialties – and a love for collaboration that extends beyond the internal team to external collaborators and clients.

Indesign Media, together with Schiavello, Cosentino and Signorino, were proud to partner with Adele, as they’ve each done many times over, to produce the event.

Alice Blackwood, Co-Editor of Indesign, introduced Adele as she took to the stage to reflect on the past, celebrate successes, thank friends, colleagues and collaborators, and herald the beginning of an exciting future.
