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.
When space is tight but you need a smidge more, a good architect will find it. In this issue, two have taken what little extra is available and run with it, another has elected to stay small, one to begin small and one to accommodate many, as efficiently as possible.
By either pushing to the boundary, sub-dividing, densifying and reducing, or by creating multi-use spaces, this selection of projects has clearly demonstrated that smaller is often better.
And when you can’t fit it in the space you have, think beyond the private realm. In the heart of Melbourne’s Fitzroy on a prominent corner, a new home gives back via voids carved into its blocky exterior. They are filled with vegetation, right up to the footpath, softening and adding interest for owners and passersby. And for a little bit more intrigue a side entrance allows glimpses of the courtyard, layered with sculptural succulents and cacti.
In inner Sydney a tiny terrace squeezed between two others has found space for a garden in the sky. Upon entering at street level the view extends beyond the living room to the roof of the lower floor, once bare and reflective, now overflowing with native plants. A small courtyard and a street garden add extra lushness.
Small, ingenious architecture and gardens that surprise and delight. Enjoy.
