A REVOLUTION IN FENCING
Born to Stand Out • When embarking on the design and build of your dream home, it’s easy to be swept away with passing trends and run-of-the-mill designs. That’s why working with an architect and designer with a passion for individuality can be the difference between getting a house that looks like everyone else’s and a house that’s a reflection of you – a house you can call home. Sydney Home Design + Living’s Tabitha Lancaster sits down with Stella Taleb, interior architect and creative director at Stella Taleb Design & Build, to explore how she continues to produce beautiful, unique homes for happy clients with every build.
ARCHITECTS + BUILDING DESIGNERS
THE LAY OF THE LAND • Building a house always presents its challenges, especially when the land you’ve got has its lumps, bumps and unusual shapes. But perhaps that’s the thing you love about it. A flat block is certainly convenient for building, sure – but that rolling hill or rocky outcrop sure does give you a better view. Sydney Home Design + Living’s Thomas Henry breaks out the sketchpad and pencils with Matthew Waters, Director of Devine Drafting & Design, to take a look at the challenges presented by odd blocks of land and how he’s overcome this to build some of Australia’s most breathtaking forever homes.

Building for the future • In an ever-changing world, the ability to evolve and adapt is vital. As the cost of living rises and the climate crisis looms in the back of our minds, it comes as no surprise that energy and cost-efficient solutions have become a priority. For those embarking on a new home build or renovation, the design and building process is a wonderful opportunity to implement features that not only benefit your budget, but also benefit the planet. Tabitha Lancaster from Sydney Home Design + Living sits down with Rodney Binet, sales manager at Binet Homes, to discuss the process of designing and building sustainable homes.
