“We need a new approach to single-family housing in existing neighbourhoods that contributes positively to the health and vitality of living systems, human and non-human. Despite a climate and biodiversity emergency, more time spent working from home, skyrocketing energy prices and a widespread shortage of construction materials, the way we design and build houses remains much the same.” Melbourne Office Director, Chris Buntine's house project is featured in Sanctuary Magazine’s On The Drawing Board series in their March issue. As Australia's only dedicated sustainable house design magazine, Sanctuary profiles the best in environmentally aware architectural and design solutions.
