More than three-quarters of the energy used by domestic appliances is consumed during use. With the Australian architecture and interior design industry increasingly conscious of the role it has to play in this country’s response to the climate emergency, it’s food for thought. And it’s something Miele has been actively addressing for more than two decades. In fact, in that period alone, Miele has achieved reductions averaging around 50 percent in the energy and water consumption of its appliances. And, in line with its motto ‘Immer besser’ (Forever better), the global company is doing this without sacrificing on performance. This drive for optimal consumption in tandem with optimal results isn’t new either. From day one, the core of Miele’s product philosophy has been to manufacture to the highest quality and…

“I’m inspired by the simplicity and elegance of Christian Liaigre, Vincent Van Duysen and Joseph Dirand. I admire the craftsmanship and timelessness of their work.”DANIEL BODDAM ORIGIN STORY Both of my parents were in architecture. As a child we travelled regularly, and having a Venezuelan mother we would often visit relatives in Venezuela via New York and Miami. Each trip was centred on architecture.

The past year for Luke Hayward has been a roller coaster of COVIDrelated innovation and opportunities. Despite the ongoing challenges, he has approached 2021 with resilience that was made all the sweeter when he won the inaugural Emerging Architect Prize from the Australian Institute of Architects’ International Chapter Architecture Awards. “Our life has been turned on its head in the last 18 months,” he says. “In November last year, we travelled to Australia with the plan of returning to Osaka in March. And now we’re stuck in Australia.” Currently located in Byron Bay, Hayward is pragmatic about his unanticipated living situation. “We’ve just been staying with my parents, and they’ve been very patient to have us a bit longer than everyone expected. It’s been a real challenge because last year…

THE FACTS PRACTICE ENOKI AND PROSKE ARCHITECTS PROJECT VIGNERON HOUSE LOCATION ADELAIDE HILLS, SOUTH AUSTRALIA/BUKATILA/ PERAMANGK PEOPLE “Their location was always a big part of the brief,” says Adelaide-based Enoki director Susanna Bilardo. “They live among their vineyard, so it had to be super hardy, but they also wanted a space that felt unique and was different to the everyday.” Essential to the brief was an avoidance of a ‘white house’. As such, Enoki used white sparingly, but focused on creating evocative and textural interiors through organic surfaces, and a balance of light and dark. Enoki designer Alex Moeck adds, “The clients always had an absolute love of materiality and putting together things that aren’t run of the mill.” With materiality the focus of the interior design, the architecture provides…

2021 sees the addition of a Community Services award to the IDEA program. The decision to introduce this particular category really stemmed from our experiences during the 2019/20 bushfires and first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic. We were looking for ways to lend a hand and do our bit to give back to the architects and designers around us. In our discussions within the industry, we were conscious of the powerful effect good design could have on communities and on people who may have never before experienced or even interacted with a space designed by an architect or interior designer. We also came across so many incredible examples of local practitioners working with community or not-for-profit groups, or on pro bono projects. This award is in celebration and recognition…

THE FACTS PRACTICE LUCHETTI KRELLE PROJECT OVOLO LOCATION SOUTH YARRA, VICTORIA/WOLWORUNG/ WURUNDJERI PEOPLE Designed in 2019 and constructed throughout 2020, “The original intent for a micro hotel of shared room-type accommodation quickly went out the window as we waved goodbye to backpackers,” says Luchetti Krelle (LK) principal Rachel Luchetti .

Art is a driving force with the owner’s collection drawn on and expanded. The accommodation is also fun, but of a…
