Projects include Pumphouse Point, Devil’s Corner Cellar Door, Hotel Verge and recently the Dove Lake Viewing Shelter and the Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre.

After that, this issue’s feature; a range of kitchens that showcase a range of sustainable approaches to renovating, including recycled materials, energy efficient systems and the benefits of reuse – sometimes things do best when you give them a good scrub and leave them as they are.

Next up; an owner-built coastal home/office combines PassivHaus rigour with mid-century Beachcomber style in a sustainable, healthy home designed around nature and enough-ness. By Altereco Design.
