Sanctuary: Modern green homes magazine subscription

From the publisher

Sanctuary 66 is available now! Build green, build beautiful, build affordable. Australia's best magazine for people looking to build and renovate sustainably. Discover the latest design ideas and cutting-edge green technology, the best ethical technology and furnishing buys, and tips and solutions to help you create a comfortable home for life.

Inside: In Sanctuary 66, we celebrate Sustainable House Day, spotlighting just a few of the wide range of terrific homes opening their doors for the perennially popular event. There’s a family home bucking the cookie-cutter project home trend in Tamworth, a Melbourne Passive House designed to deliver super fresh air inside, and a Perth architect’s own compact home that was a testing ground for his efficient, affordable designs for small blocks. For renovation inspiration, three carefully-considered rear extensions bring greater liveability to homes in Adelaide, Sydney and the Sunshine Coast. And in Tassie, we visit an established house: the story of how Wendy’s diminutive dwelling and productive garden have evolved over a decade is an inspiring one.

Elsewhere, we revisit a Canberra apartment whose young owners made some small but impactful changes after being part of our Design Workshop program. Expert Elizabeth Wheeler investigates alternatives to good old plasterboard for interior wall linings; we meet the founders of the Sustainable Builders Alliance; and team behind the game-changer Powerhaus energy rating tool tell us what it’s all about. Jacqui Hagen contributes her gardening tips for renters – including relocating your garden – plus much more.
