06.01.2022 Tone Wheeler, President of the Australian Architecture Association and long-running champion of sustainable architecture, recently published an article in Architecture & Design, titled On the Third Wave of Sustainability. He talks about why passive solar house design hasn’t been widely adopted across Australia and why the government hasn’t regulated for them. Delving into the history of sustainable architecture through three particular waves, he summarises that in his opinion..., for sustainability to succeed it needs to tell a story about improvements in the quality of life the improved indoor environmental quality (IEQ) that comes from passive solar is better for the occupants, but moreover it is better for the environment. Sadly, that appeal to ‘lifestyle’ is the only way that green design will succeed in today’s personally selfish and politically timid and inept environment. www.architectureanddesign.com.au//tone-on-tuesday-on-the-t

04.01.2022 The completion of this rejuvenated city residence has been long awaited by the owners, who are now enjoying their choice of two terraces looking over the Richmond skyline. The addition of their modern first floor living space alongside the original single fronted workers cottage gives the owners a light-filled escape up from the busy streets adjacent to Church Street. The balconies set on each end of this open kitchen, dining and living room allow both private and more open deck engaged with the street below with sun at both ends of the day. The private rooms on street level provide two bedrooms and a second living room opening on to a small court retained below the upper deck, with a valuable work shed for their city bikes, used every day from this inner city sanctuary. https://www.habitechsystems.com.au//our-inner-city-sanctua
