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.

Lexus celebrates the Melbourne Cup in Style in The Birdcage

Amidst the Lexus Design Pavilion celebrations, the Lexus team and special guests celebrated the Melbourne Cup in style.

Set inside a Birdnest designed by Joost Bakker, Lexus Design Pavilion served as the party zone for one of 2015’s most glamorous Melbourne Cup parties. Guests enjoyed lunch by Attica and a selection of favourites from Mr Wong.

“Melbourne Cup Carnival is one of the maddest, wildest celebrations of Australian culture that I can think of,” remarked Lexus Ambassador and Executive Chef of Attica, Ben Shewry. And the Lexus party certainly lived up to this expectation.

Set amongst the pavilions unique design features that capture the imagination, installation-artist Georgie Seccull, the site was a terrific venue to celebrate the Melbourne Cup race day, and cheer on as Michelle Payne became the first ever woman to take home the cup.
