Green design and building magazine - Light Home Winter Issue 2012 out now

Issue 4 of the Australian green design and building Light Home magazine, is now live with exclusive interviews with four of Australia’s leading architects.

Misho, Troppo Architects, CplusC and 22 point 4 are four of Australia’s leading architects – and passionate advocates of lightweight, eco-friendly design and building.

From Misho’s commitment to environmentalism and recycling to Troppo Architects’ pioneering work in the Top End (and why they are the third most awarded practice in Australia), the Winter Issue Light Home magazine details the philosophies and key projects of these four important Australian practices.

The four are also the new Design Ambassadors for Light Home magazine, the quarterly online magazine dedicated to eco-friendly, lightweight and sustainable design and building.
