A heritage home given a complete transformation

A late 1800’s workers’ cottage in Sydney has been given new life through a spectacular renovation and extension.

The renters taking a different route onto the property ladder

The renters taking a different route onto the property ladder

Many young Australians, particularly those in the expensive major cities, are prioritising lifestyle over owning their own home ­– but this doesn’t mean they can’t still buy property, and many are turning to investing to do it.

Renters are realising that renting where they want to live and buying real estate elsewhere — or ‘rentvesting’ — allows them to have their cake and eat it too.

How has the Australian home changed?

How has the Australian home changed?

From dark boxes to light-filled living, Aussie homes have come to embrace the great outdoors. Now, there’s another shift underway.

For a country flooded with sunlight, it’s odd that so many traditional homes were quite dark, small and internally focused. However, it makes more sense when you consider the origins of Australian house design – the settler experience. Most homes were simply a masonry box with windows, sitting around a very symmetrical layout with a roof on it.

The new community rising out of an old cotton mill

How will we be living in the future?

When thinking about how Australians might be living by the middle of the century, it’s easy to picture scenes of sky homes and robot butlers from The Jetsons.
