Adam Kane Architects - Williamstown Residence

1 week ago | habitusliving.com | Bronwyn Marshall

Williamstown Residence is where past and present are carefully interwoven to create a home that feels both grounded and quietly transformative, readied for its next chapter as a bridging between two eras. From the offset, a restrained formal response ensures that the existing heritage is not merely preserved but meaningfully engaged with the new insertions on site, crafting a seamless narrative of continuity and contrast.
J.AR Office - The Warehouses

2 weeks ago | habitusliving.com | Saskia Neacsu

Photography David ChatfieldJ.AR Office has redesigned the traditional warehouse typology into a paradisiacal, contemporary precinct. In the industrial periphery of Currumbin, where utilitarian sheds flank the streets, J.AR Office has reinterpreted a civic precinct with aplomb. The reconfiguration of five pre-existing sheds has been assiduously redesigned into The Warehouses.
Art in Residence - Nicole England

3 weeks ago | habitusliving.com | Saskia Neacsu

There’s a certain silence that falls in homes where art lives — not the sterile hush of a gallery, but a hum of presence. In the book Art in Residence, Nicole England invites us to witness it. It might be the way a painting alters the circulation of a cloister, how a well-worn sculpture softens a modernist line or how the shape of a room bends — almost imperceptibly — towards its most enamoured object.
Christian Ernemann on the architecture of inheritance

3 weeks ago | habitusliving.com | Saskia Neacsu

While Wendelbo is currently under the stewardship of its third generation, the company’s evolution feels less like a handover and more like a deliberate continuation. After a thirty-year tenure, the previous generation has just stepped back from hands-on responsibilities, retaining a seat on the board and a design advisory role.
Double - New Zealand Wool Collection

3 weeks ago | habitusliving.com | Saskia Neacsu

Realised by Double, the New Zealand Wool Collection finds its footing within Pattern Studio’s interiors for The Standard Store, where natural materiality is given room to speak. In design, beauty often reveals its full potential within the context of a space. Objects within architecture and interiors show their most profound qualities when interacting with their surroundings.
NOXON Architecture - Shoreham House

3 weeks ago | habitusliving.com | Bronwyn Marshall

A quiet coastal retreat all of its own, Shoreham House by NOXON Architecture reframes the relationship between built form and landscape, and between past and present. Responding to both an undulating topography and the embedded history of the existing dwelling, the addition and restoration of Shoreham House embodies an immersive attuning to nature, light and familial rituals.
Technogym - Connected Dumbbells

4 weeks ago | habitusliving.com | Saskia Neacsu

The mystery of how some manage to remain effortlessly fit has been dismantled — to the quiet consternation of the French, who have long preferred their discipline discreet. Now, as rituals are documented and optimisation becomes cultural currency, the act of working out has shifted from the private to the performative. Fitness, once veiled, is now part of a paradisiacal lifestyle. And perhaps, with that shift, exercise itself has become an aesthetic — something to be choreographed, even revered.
Bankston and Sans-Arc Studio - Super Collection

1 month ago | habitusliving.com | Saskia Neacsu

In a landscape where quantity often challenges quality, partnerships with genuine purpose and cultural resonance will be the ones that continue to stand out. Furthermore, it appears the rise of cross-industry partnerships has reshaped the way consumers interact with design brands. Take the collaboration between Australian hardware brand Bankston and architecture studio Sans-Arc Studio, for example, manifesting as a tangible representation of a shared design ethos.
mckimm - Belongil Residence

1 month ago | habitusliving.com | Saskia Neacsu

Belongil Residence by mckimm is a contrapuntal interplay between the reverent preservation of a 1950s whaler’s cottage and its contemporary extension. Belongil Residence by mckimm is a dwelling that gives dual meaning to the adage that architecture reflects a connection to the landscape. Flanked by the coastline of Belongil Beach, the aptly named palimpsest acknowledges both the coastal terrain and the burgeoning design landscape of Byron Bay.
