Australia's leading sustainable architecture and landscape design magazine for inspirational stories on local and international houses, gardens and profiles. Issue 90 (Mar-Apr) is now on sale in newsagents. In this issue our feature article looks at five examples, from a co-housing model created by a group of friends to a rent-to-buy development. All of the projects prioritise performance in terms of energy consumption and materials, but they are also designed with strong community in mind - a far cry from housing developments of the past. Density of another kind is represented in our cover house, a 44-square-metre worker's cottage meticulously reworked to squeeze as much practical space as possible from every nook and cranny. Elsewhere in this issue we head to New Zealand to look at a series of three 10-square-metre cabins that offer the most rudimentary, low-impact living. In sub-tropical Queensland we admire the design of a home nestled in, and opening out to, a beautiful stand of melaleuca trees. And in Melbourne, a stone's throw from the city but beside the Yarra River and surrounded by bush, a renovation delivers flexibility and flow. Elsewhere we profile the work of Studio Edwards, an innovative and highly collaborative architecture practice, look at the groundbreaking pilot project of Farm My School and visit a garden tucked between high brick walls in the depths of Sydney's Newtown. Plus, as usual, our Upfront profiles the best in environmental design. Enjoy. Note: Issue #90 is on sale in newsagents. Your subscription commences with issue #91 (May-Jun).
