green magazine subscription

From the publisher

Australia's leading sustainable architecture and landscape design magazine for inspirational stories on local and international houses, gardens and profiles.

In this issue Ben Daly of Palace Electric turned his hands (literally) to the transformation of a shearing shed south-west of Christchurch in New Zealand into a home, reusing as much of the structure as possible and preserving remnants of its past.
On the banks of the River Derwent in Otago Bay, Tasmania, Topology Studio has designed a more robust home in order to capture and store heat whilst withstanding the cold and blustery north westerlies.
South of Sydney, at the foot of the Illawarra Escarpment, Blade House by Takt Studio references its location via rugged and hardwearing materials and uses them to create a space of unfussy simplicity.
In a bull paddock in Tamworth, former engineer and now architect Alex Symes used thermal modelling to design a home with high comfort levels whilst self- suf cient in electricity, waste and water.
Architect Paul Hotson’s appreciation of the Sunshine Coast hinterland and method of responding to site made him the obvious choice for a family home ‘lost in the landscape’ of a deeply forested ravine.
Finally, on Sydney’s northern beaches, in a bushland re zone of diverse ecology, is a house wrapped in corten steel, the interior softened with birch ply. Its owners worked closely with architect Matt Elkan, ensuring that their desires to embrace and preserve the natural landscape were met. Some would say they are living the dream.
