Editor Kathleen Kinney – [email protected] FROM THE PUBLISHER Editorial Building a new home will always be an exciting and challenging undertaking. The personal style of the designer, the constraints or opportunities presented by the environment, and the practical ways in which the owners will use the house are all factors that will come into play. @DavidJideas facebook.com/trendsideas Editorial Director Paul Taylor Managing Editor John Williams Subeditor Jane McKenzie Senior Writer Colleen Hawkes Staff Writer Charles Moxham Contributing Writer Mary Webb Email [email protected] Sales – All Media In this issue of New Home Trends we feature houses and outdoor living spaces created by notable architects and designers, in a wide range of styles. Each project has its own personality, formed in response to all these elements, and an increasing awareness of the importance of sustainable design. Whatever the interior or surrounding vista, the challenge is always how to maximise these attributes while maintaining privacy for the owners. In terms of form and function, the results vary greatly, yet each is a perfect blend of what was necessary and desired. As usual, our inspiring projects are augmented with a variety of goods and services aimed to equip you with the practical knowledge to complete your own project. We trust this issue of New Home Trends exceeds your expectations. Lastly, our Trends publications are also available as eBooks. This exponentially increases the potential audience for our featured designers and advertisers. Our readers benefit from the enhanced multimedia experience that eBooks provide, and of course, the environmental footprint of our publications is minimised. Visit our website, my.Trendsideas.com.
