Our latest issue, ‘The Nature of Design’, explores the symbiotic relationship between architecture, design, and nature, highlighting how this connection can enhance our mental and physical well-being.
Showcasing the power of serene, introspective spaces, this issue features Arent&Pyke’s redesign of a harbourside apartment and Brigette Romanek’s design of Gwyneth Paltrow’s family home. Norm Architects’ modern take on a Nordic summerhouse exemplifies biophilic design, while our exclusive film spotlights the Saddle Peak Residence by Sant Architects in Topanga, California.
We step into Gabriela Carrillo and Mauricio Rocha’s Mexican jungle retreat and Andrew Burges Architects’ Gully House in Sydney, which seamlessly integrate nature and architecture. Design Commentator Karen McCartney discusses the relationship between architecture and water in the Oxley Pool and Boatshed, which we build on through four unique pools and pavilions.
The issue reflects on the intrinsic link between nature, wellness, and residential design, and how this ultimately fosters creativity, inspiration, and comfort.
