Sanctuary 68 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 68 we visit a wildly varied collection of homes, from regional Western Australia to harbourside Sydney and many points in between. Despite their differences in scale, budget and location, they all have one thing in common: they are designed with sustainability and liveability firmly in mind. There are two inspiring Passive House projects, one a new build and one a comprehensive retrofit. In Melbourne, a family home including ample bike storage and accommodation for pet rabbits achieved 8 Stars, and across town a thoughtful renovation hugely improved the liveability of a modest brick bungalow without extending it. Architect Jiri Lev’s own home in Tasmania is an exercise in simple, just-enough design, and in Adelaide, a small-footprint infill build provides a comfortable dwelling for a downsizing couple. Finally, Catherine’s hempcrete and rammed earth home in the Witchcliffe ecovillage is a delight.
Elsewhere, we shine a light on the recently announced ban on engineered stone and look at some eco alternatives for your benchtops. Renew’s advocacy manager Rob McLeod examines the potential of ‘one-stop shops’ to help households get off gas. In the second in our series on biophilic design Fiona Gray writes on the benefits of bringing nature’s forms and features into our homes, and Jacqui Hagen shares her top tips for attracting beautiful birdlife to your garden - plus much more.
