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.

Safety By Design

When considering accessibility, safety principles take care of physical health, but good design also promotes mental and emotional wellbeing.


 

It is a question often asked – how can we plan for safety and accessibility without compromising the principles of design? Without adequate research and resources, bathroom design for the less able client can present a limited range of choices and a high chance of sterile, clinical outcomes. Unless we embrace the principle of Archability®…

Archability® is a fusion of architecture and the universally recognised need for accessibility for all persons. It is the shower seat of warmto- touch anatomically moulded plastic; it is the ‘SOFT’ grab rail in stylish muted neutral tones; it is about creating accessible private bathrooms – not public changing facilities. A division of assistive technology provider Active Mobility, Archability® has partnered with French manufacturer Pellet ASC – specialists in comfort and safety for the bathroom environment. This partnership brings to Australia one of the widest ranges of accessible bathroom products, influenced by French designer agencies EDDS and PhilMoineDesign.
