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.

Stormtech’s GreenTag

Stormtech, the Australian inventor of linear drainage systems, has just passed GreenTag™ certification across its entire Slimline series.

A first for architectural grates and drains, this development will be welcomed by architects and specifiers seeking wet area solutions for green building projects. “The use of certified products is increasing dramatically in both consumer and commercial sectors,” said Global GreenTag™ CEO, David Baggs. “A recent report shows that ecolabelled products in the consumer sector are growing at 41 per cent compared to 2 per cent in the base market. Recognised ecolabels like GreenTag™ are business critical in many sectors where Green Star certification is relevant. It is also business critical for projects that are looking to undertake a Life Cycle Analysis such as Lend Lease’s Barangaroo and projects using the new Green Star LCA and Environmental Product Declarations Innovation Challenges credits.”

Globally, Stormtech obtained Gold LCARate and Level A GreenRate GreenTag™ certification across every product line. The GreenTag™ certification is a third party, green building rating and certification system, underpinned by rigorous scientific and Life Cycle Assessment processes.

“Stormtech decided to obtain the certification to assist specifiers and consumers to source an architectural drainage system for its environmental credentials,” said Stormtech managing director, Troy Creighton. “It also assists green design and procurement professionals and companies requiring certified products for projects involved in the Green Building Council of Australia Green Star rating system. We know that building companies are increasingly pursuing Green Star certification for their projects in health, retail, multi-unit residential, industrial or public buildings.
