Welcome to the 100th issue of green. A lot has changed since 2007 and it has been an enormous privilege to follow and share the work of architects, designers and landscape architects in Australia and beyond. The focus on sustainability in the industry has not always been consistent but more recently has become an absolute priority for many practices and producers.

These progressives are designing smaller, using local, certified and recyclable materials, and renovating and adapting whenever possible. They are committed and creative, and sit at the top of their field, influencing others. We watch on excitedly.

In this issue, our special profile highlights the work six industry leaders who are progressive thinkers in their respective fields, each reframing sustainable design solutions through novel ideas and a pioneering agenda; Jeremy McLeod (Breathe Architecture and Nightingale Housing), Sasha Titchkosky (Koskela), Ross Harding (Finding Infinity), Ben Shaw (Ben Shaw Permaculture and Farm My School), Sarah K (supercyclers), and Rebecca Trenorden (Versa Studio).

Then, our first house feature; as in-fill sites in our cities get tighter, the innovation and free-thinking required to realise their potential be comes more and more refined. With architecture by LLDS.

Next up; Nightingale Marrickville is an innovative build-to-rent project providing affordable housing without standing design and sustainability credentials. Architecture by SJB.

For our third house feature; the compact functionality of a London narrowboat inspired this hardworking but serene addition to a Californian bungalow that connects a young family to the people and pleasures they love most. Architecture by Topology Studio.

Our fourth house feature; there is nothing quite as hard and unforgiving– and beautiful – as being able to live removed and immersed within the coastal valleys of South Australia. Architecture by Architects Ink.

And for our last house; in resisting the urge for more house, the garden of this small inner-city home plays a central role in providing space for its owners. Architecture by Nielsen Jenkins.

And a special bonus this issue; precious remnant woodland in Aireys Inlet inspired a prefab container house and habitat garden created with precisely the vision, collaboration and attention to detail you’d expect from the creators of green magazine, Tamsin O’Neill and Tom Bodycomb (in collaboration with Tamsin’s sister Rema O’Neill Architect).

Our first garden feature; Yambulla, a long-held pastoral property deep in a verdant valley where the generational work has begun to restore a deeper health to Country.

And our second garden; on a little patch in a little town, a local garden star creates a space that borrows from changing light and adjacent greenery to form an elegant sum of its parts. Featuring Tim Pilgrim Gardens and The Green Store.

And finally for our travel feature, green magazine was privileged to be invited to observe the rebirth of the Southern Ocean Lodge, a triumph of community endeavour to recreate an iconic structure in the most dramatic of locations.

Also new in issue 100, a regular feature called ‘Not Wasted’, where we look at projects that utilise waste in creative and productive ways. This issue, we feature Hassell’s off-grid 3D printed pavilion.

And of course, our regular segments Upfront and Upfront Garden share a curated spread of projects, products or creations that we love.
