Inside: Summer’s on its way again, and it’s time to get outside - and bring the outdoors in, too. This issue of Sanctuary is full of ideas for greening your surrounds and connecting with nature. Featured homes include a Melbourne townhouse designed with biophilia front and centre, starting with nooks everywhere for plants. In Canberra, a considered upgrade brings the beautiful warmth and texture of reclaimed timber into a small suburban house. Tactile rammed earth was the perfect choice for a retired couple’s new home on a block they’re busy revegetating with native plants. And a backyard cabin - quite literally very green - helps connect a Brisbane family much more directly with their garden.
Elsewhere, Fiona Gray contributes the third article in her series on biophilic design, and ecologist Sarah Bekessy explains why sustainable midrise housing is the sweet spot for healthy, nature-positive communities. We canvas a collection of bushfire-resilient design experts on the latest developments five years after Black Summer, and architect and country girl Sarah Lebner brings us thought-provoking design tips for rural homes. Plus, Jenny Edwards shares her favourite strategies for conjuring two (or more) smaller, more comfortable homes from one big old one, introducing ‘gentle density’ to our suburbs.
