Vintage Modern Issue

The breadth and scope of Habitus has always been extraordinary. With how we live at heart of every issue, we have stepped it up with Guest Editor David Flack of Flack Studio shaking the ‘how’ and looking at new ways to make a house a home. With Vintage Modern as the issues theme, we look at the way iconic design has stayed with us, how daring pieces from the past can add the wow factor and how architecture and good design defy the pigeon hole of their era.

The definitive Habitus Kitchen & Bathroom issue is out today!

Habitus #54 hits newsstands today! We take a look at what awaits inside one of the most highly anticipated issues of the year – the Kitchen & Bathroom special.


The familiar saying about kitchens and bathrooms being the most important rooms of the home continues to stand true; they are functional and life-giving in every sense.

As an annual showcase, the Habitus Kitchen and Bathroom special is a chance to collate and reflect on how these spaces continue to evolve to suit everyday life. While architecture and design don’t move as fast as other industries – like the pace of technology, for instance – there are still constant adjustments to the way we inhabit space as culture and society continue to shift.

For this issue, we’ve sourced homes where the kitchens and bathrooms are exceptional. To set the tone, Leanne Amodeo reports on the state of play when it comes to kitchens and bathrooms, highlighting the stand-out design elements to keep an eye on.

More than just the design of these integral rooms, we also visit the home of a chef, Ian Curley, to see the way family and food come together each day. When it comes to projects, while incredible examples of architecture, they too each offer a glimpse into unique kitchens and bathrooms.

From the large, copper-lined farm kitchen in regional NSW, to a bathroom in Clovelly detailed with impeccable refinement by Madeleine Blanchfield Architects, to a kitchen that spills out to a courtyard space.

I hope you find inspiration for your own kitchen or bathroom on the pages of Habitus, or at the very least consider the many different ways these spaces can influence the way you live.
