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.

Built by the beach in a leafy subtropical idyll, the simplest of bathing facilities make the most of the great outdoors.


It’s rare that you can say that a landscape designer is so intimately involved in designing a home’s new bathing facilities – but here it’s clear that this bathroom’s subtropical surrounds are every bit as important an element as the tiles and the taps. In fact it’s the custom-designed outdoor shower that sees more action than the indoor facilities adjacent.

Created as part of a low-maintenance beach house, a short walk from Little Cove Beach, next to Queensland’s Noosa National Park, the owners wanted a robust yet relaxed house that required minimal effort to maintain.
