Habitus | Issue No.66

Guest editor Mardi Doherty explores the transformative power of kitchens and bathrooms, while a collection of homes, interiors, products and creative voices from across the Indo-Pacific region examines how thoughtful design reshapes everyday life.

Kitchens and bathrooms are arguably the most consequential rooms in the home — and almost always the first to be reconsidered. Whether approached through renovation or new build, their design can 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.
