Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Mulberry Manor: A contemporary take on the classic Queenslander

Iver

Situated in Buderim on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, Mulberry Manor offers a modern interpretation of the traditional Queenslander home with refined hardware touches from Iver.


The design of Mulberry Manor in Queensland merges heritage elements with contemporary finishes, embracing the region’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle while maintaining a refined aesthetic. The residence features open-plan interiors designed to maximise natural light, with warm-toned walls and cabinetry adding a modern contrast to the home’s classic framework.

Outdoor spaces are brought into the project by way of a minimalistic pool design and lush landscaping reinforcing the connection to nature. Meanwhile, a key design element is the use of Iver’s Helsinki Pull Handles, selected for their balance of functionality and refined detailing. Dark walnut cabinetry serves as a backdrop for the Signature Brass finish, creating a subtle yet sophisticated contrast.

Additionally, the Berlin Levers with Oval Backplates, also in Signature Brass, complement the home’s material palette with clean lines inspired by Bauhaus principles. These hardware selections are incorporated throughout the kitchen, living spaces, office and bedrooms, contributing to a cohesive and enduring design.

Mulberry Manor demonstrates how contemporary detailing can enhance the character of a heritage-inspired home, blending classic and modern influences with a focus on quality craftsmanship and materiality.
