Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about. Whether a family hub, an entertainer’s paradise or somewhere to grad a quick meal, how we live in and spend time in the kitchen is a very personal question that requires thought and an abundance of resources. Always the aspirational eye candy of design, we have some truly lovely kitchens from Greg Natale, YSG, Splinter Society, Sally Caroline and Studio Johnston. Bathrooms are just as important with Greg Natale, Studio Tate, YSG and Those Architects sharing some fabulous insights

The Elwood Townhouse

Australia

Sitting as one of three in a row, this townhouse in the Melbourne beachside suburb of Elwood, is separated from its neighbour by a concrete party wall cutting from front to back.


Created by Inform Design, the home has a study, kitchen and living areas flowing around a glazed central courtyard on the ground floor.

Adjacent to the courtyard is a timber stair providing the main sculptural element in the long space. Near the front deck and garden is a small den.

Upstairs are two bedrooms. The main bedroom has a large dressing room and ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom — accommodating the owner’s adult daughter (a yoga teacher, writer and marketing manager) — is on the other side of the house and also has its own bathroom.

At the rear of the home, above a carport and beyond the rear courtyard is the daughter’s yoga studio, Yoga Lane.

The studio offers “modern and intimate home yoga” in the “fast lane” and the “slow lane” – one for working body more strongly and the other focusing on “turning the pace down”.

At the opposite end of the home — at its face to the street — all three townhouses have a long black timber balustrade that “hovers” over the entry porches and gives a unifying element to the total structure from the street.

Capping the balustrade is a steel-framed pergola upon which a vine will eventually grow to soften architecture and link it to the leafy tree-lined streetscape.
