Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Kitchens and bathrooms are, arguably, the most consequential rooms in the home — and almost always the first to be considered. Whether approached through renovation or new build, their design has the power to recalibrate how a home is lived in and experienced. For this issue, our guest editor, Mardi Doherty, principal of Studio Doherty, explores what it truly means to transform these pivotal spaces — and why thoughtful design in kitchens and bathrooms delivers dividends far beyond the purely functional. Her insights both as an architect and as her own client give an open and honest account of the thinking behind creating a home.

A new collection of miniature works from silversmith and goldsmith
Dougal Halsem will be on show at the new Pieces of Eight CBD Gallery in
Melbourne with his first exhibition – The Turtle and the Merman.

Dougal Haslem is a qualified and experienced gold and silversmith who has turned his hand to creating miniature anthropomorphic and zoomorphic mechanical creations.

 

 

In the first exhibition at the new Pieces of Eight Gallery and a debut exhibition for Dougal, his pieces, made from cogs and other mechanical parts, will beg the question ‘will that move?’

 

 

 

These little creatures have so much personality and thanks to their first commissioned animation, Pieces of Eight Gallery have actually brought them to life (check it out below).

 

“The finished pieces themselves are a hybrid between stasis and mobility,” say Pieces of Eight Gallery. “They look like little machines that do not perform a function but are full of personality and evoke a reaction of intrigue and curiosity in the viewer.”

This first exhibition for the new gallery and for Dougal will run from 1 February – 12 March 2011.
