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.

Life In A Glass Castle

Meet Poesia, the latest collection from Brickworks. For many, the inclination towards glass bricks may seem like the return of an old friend – perhaps unrecognisable in such an array of bold colours.

Brickworks latest collection, Poesia, is all about fine quality, craft traditions and the refined beauty of Italian glass making. It was designed in Italy and took years to perfect its purity and crispness of glass all the while maintaining durability and strength of bricks. The clear glass brick is a first for the Australian market.

The collection’s solid glass construction allows architects and designers to create dynamic light-filled interiors, dazzling gallery spaces and transparent volumes the flow and interconnect. The bricks can be used internally or externally while still providing thermal shock resistance. Available in standard form (230mm x 110mm x 76mm) and in a range of 3 different finishes: natural, polished and frosted. The range also comes in five different designs: from the pure white of Arctic Crystal, to the calming blues of Aqua Marine and Blue Sapphire, to the warm Golden Amber and moody Smokey Quartz.
