Architect Designs Byron Bay’s Most Expensive Home (House Tour)
Nestled on the beach in one of Australia’s most serene coastal enclaves, Border Street is an expensive home and eloquent response to the pristine Byron Bay environment where it resides. Artfully conceived by Workroom, the residence shuts out the rest of the world in its contemplation of place, form and materials. “I like the sense of calm that you feel when you walk into the house; it's not busy, it's not loud, it’s not contrived either – it’s very relaxed,” says John Bornas, architect and creative director at Workroom. Perched on a dune hugging a rainforest that falls straight onto Belongil Beach in Byron Bay, the expensive home taps into Byron Bay’s breezy state of slumber without neglecting a sense of refinement. From the street, the house is concealed by a series of screens. “The idea was to try and create a sense of wonder; you don't really know what’s going on behind that screen,” notes John. Walking through the front gate, there is a substantial walk to the front door, allowing one to really experience the landscape the home is set in, rather than “just simply walking through a front door,” says John. One then enters the main living and dining areas, which are bounded by the pavilions that open up to the dune and the rainforest. As with many expensive homes, designing it was not without challenges. The site itself was clouded by various constraints, although Workroom saw these as opportunities. Due to coastal erosion, the house needed to be demountable, which led to various constraints in terms of dimensions as the demountable parts of the house had to fit on a truck and then be re-built. Being made of a series of parts means views are framed in between each section. “Everywhere that you turn in the house there is always a glimpse of the outside … which allows us to once again use the landscape as an element of the house,” he says. Responding to the natural environment where the house resides, robust and sustainable materials were favoured externally and throughout the interior design. Often hallmarks of an expensive home; porcelain, timber and stone dominate the material palette, complemented by minimal decor. “I think when a building ages gracefully and well, it actually adds another layer to the building,” says John. “The fact that the home sits within a landscape that is so lush and alive, it changes over time as well, so the idea that the building also changes as time goes by is important to us.” Border Street responds to the emerging sensibilities of the locale – it is not just another expensive home – it is laid-back yet sophisticated and does not overpower the landscape but exists peacefully alongside it. “Our studio’s approach focuses on a sense of wonder and awareness through having a rigorous understanding of form, space and material,” notes John. In this way, Workroom taps into a broader theme – Byron Bay’s growing reputation as a beach town that effortlessly encapsulates elevated coastal living. As such, despite its size and awe-inspiring ability, Border Street is an enduring family home that provides a promising benchmark for the Byron Bay locale for many years to come. 00:00 - Introduction to Byron Bay’s Most Expensive Home 01:00 - A Unique Location 01:35 - A Walkthrough of the Home 02:23 - Framing the Surrounding Landscape 03:01 - The Opportunities and Constraints of the Site 04:16 - The Material Palette 05:22 - Workroom's Design Approach For more from The Local Project: Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/thelocalproject/ Website – https://thelocalproject.com.au/ LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-local-project-publication/ Print Publication – https://thelocalproject.com.au/publication/ Hardcover Book – https://thelocalproject.com.au/book/ The Local Project Marketplace – https://thelocalproject.com.au/marketplace/ For more from The Local Production: Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/thelocalproduction_/ Website – https://thelocalproduction.com.au/ LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/thelocalproduction/ To subscribe to The Local Project's tri-annual print publication see here – https://thelocalproject.com.au/subscribe/ Photography by Timothy Kaye.

What Happens To Your Body When You Run 30 Minutes??
In today's fast-paced and stressful modern society, the lack of physical activity has led to a concerning trend: increasing diseases and their premature onset.

Couple Living in a Yurt as a Simple & Affordable Tiny House Alternative
Leah and Joe are an adventurous couple who moved from a log cabin into a skoolie, and then into a yurt! They are now living full-time in a tiny yurt with their two black cats in Ontario, Canada. The yurt is 20' in diameter and 314 square feet on the interior, the round structure is made of white pine lattice walls and roof rafters, and it is covered with wool felt insulation, a vapour barrier, and a canvas cover on the exterior. You can follow and find out more about Leah and Joe's yurt life adventures, and find out about the yurt rentals they're planning to set up on their land on Facebook and Instagram here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555845030001 https://www.instagram.com/mindful_makwa Joe and Leah's yurt is a 20' Mongolian Yurt (or super ger). These beautiful yurts are made in Mongolia and are distributed by Groovy Yurts. You can check them out here: https://www.groovyyurts.com/ At the time of filming, Leah and Joe had only been living in the yurt for 5 months, but they had already built a massive deck, set up their yurt as a cozy home, built an outhouse, brought in an electrical panel, built a woodshed and outdoor shower, and had a well drilled. Their future plans include adding a septic system, and building a comfort station with an indoor shower and toilet, and they're also looking into setting up a small yurt resort so that folks can visit the First Nation reserve where they live, and experience living and sleeping in a yurt.

How loneliness is killing us, according to a Harvard professor | Robert Waldinger
60% of people feel disconnected. Harvard professor Robert Waldinger addresses the science behind humanity’s loneliness epidemic and suggests ways to solve it.

Robert Waldinger, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, explores the roots of this growing epidemic. He draws on research by experts like Julianne Holt-Lunstad, revealing the severe health impacts of loneliness, equating it to smoking half a pack of cigarettes daily. Stress, accelerated brain decline, and overall well-being suffer, but the remedy lies in our relationships—with friends, family, and even casual encounters. Waldinger shares practical steps to combat loneliness, encouraging everyday connections with individuals like the person who delivers the mail or the cash
