Issue 62

Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Split House by MCK Architects

Australia

A relatively modern split-level terrace house in Bondi Beach was refurbished and enhanced by MCK Architects in 2010.

Designed to take advantage of some site specific opportunities, a series of basement rooms were adapted and made into a more functional open space.

Internal spaces were assisted to connect to the natural light and ventilation to the south through the creation a voided court below street level.

MCK Architects who created Split House is a young team of multi-award winning architects based in Surry Hills, NSW Australia.

MCK specialise in residential and commercial projects of high-quality finish and detail that are sensitive to context and brief.

Their distinctive aesthetic is known for its classic proportion and geometric form. They enjoy using unexpected materials that challenge and sometimes even surprise.
