The June 7 Edition
Australians have always had a love affair with bricks and mortar, but in these uncertain times our homes have become even more of a steadying place in our lives. In this, our winter Style Issue, domestic cocooning is something of a theme, with Anthony Burke, the host of Grand Designs Australia, showing how function and beauty can coexist in even the most modest of homes, and landscape designer Kate Seddon demonstrating how gardens can bring so much joy and calm into our lives. Call it a nice dose of comfort reading. – Greg Callaghan, acting editor.
