The Life Outside Issue

Introducing the Life Outside issue of Habitus magazine. With life increasingly being absorbed into a digital space, there is never a more important moment to hold something tangible. In this context, the power of nature to have a physiological impact on our sense of wellbeing has never been more important. So how can we cultivate the benefits of the our natural environment in the most intimate of places – our homes? This was the question that helped to bring this issue of Habitus to life.

Were You There For The Launch Of Habitus House Of The Year?

This year Habitus celebrates its 10th year at the forefront of residential architecture and design across the Indo Pacific. An extra special initiative to commemorate this milestone was launched at Tongue N Groove’s new Sydney showroom.

Habitus House of the Year is a celebration through our various channels (digital, print, and social media) of the outstanding work in the architecture and design community that is coming out of Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.

Ten years ago when Habitus was first established our mission was to communicate to the rest of the world that the Indo Pacific is not a corner of the world that follows suit: we have a distinct way of life; we live in a distinct environment; we interact with design in distinct ways; and we have distinct design preferences.

Whilst we whole-heartedly appreciate the amazing work of our European and American counterparts, we have established a Regionally specific approach to design.

A decade later, and our mission hasn’t wavered.

So each year Habitus House of the Year will select and showcase 25 of the most outstanding, innovative and compelling examples of what it means to live through design in the Indo Pacific.

To celebrate the launch of this exciting new annual initiative, Tongue N Groove hosted Habitus, our guests, and a stunning installation by The Hourglass for an evening of rich architectural discussion and appreciation.
