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.

THE HOMES YOU WON’T BELIEVE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY

Other

These homes may be cosy but what they’re lacking in space they more than make up for in imagination and innovation.

Eco Smart Studio LEAD
It’s hard to believe this studio apartment is just 400-square-feet and located within the beating heart of Hong Kong, on Hollywood Road, Central. Bespoke furniture and cabinetry cleverly maximise and conceal storage while double-glazed windows keep the buzz of the city outside. A rooftop terrace provides a place to relax, meditate, exercise or enjoy enviable views of the city’s skyline.

Unfurled House
A Federation façade on one end and a modern, monochromatic structure on the other. Cellular rooms and various indoor-outdoor connections make up the Unfurled House. Christopher Polly Architect has created a series of conflicting – and yet unbroken – spaces within the Unfurled House.

High House
Tim Ross may have likened the humble terrace to creepy-crawlies calling them the cockroaches of the design world – the impression being that they just won’t die – earlier this year at MID, but he obviously hadn’t seen the High House by Dan Gayfer Design – an inner-city terrace dreams are made of.
