Each year Habitus House of the Year shines a spotlight on the most unique residential architecture and design from across the Indo Pacific region. Now it’s time for you to dive into the list.
Habitus House of the Year is a completely unique program that unabashedly celebrates the most incredible houses – as featured online and in print throughout the year.
The 20 hand-picked homes have been whittled down by the Indesign Media editorial board, meaning that, unlike other initiatives, Habitus House of the Year is an accolade that cannot be entered.
Covering an array of apartments, large family homes, unexpected renovations and architectural feats, every single house in the line-up epitomises the long-running ethos that has underpinned Habitus – to share the stories of the people and products behind the design as a vehicle for showing the many different ways of living in design.
