Try the Alternative
Alternative medicine is a fast growing industry in Australia and rightly so. We are and should be becoming increasingly aware of our bodies and want to take and have more control over what we put in. Now I can just hear all you skeptics out there, but before you look away hear me out. For a long time I was skeptical myself, in fact I used to laugh at my hippy friend growing up when she refused to take painkillers for a headache and insisted on going to a naturopath. And don’t...

Design.Build.Transform
What an amazing time we live in. Once, not that long ago, it was difficult to find examples of people going out of their way to do good for this planet and it’s people. Not so today. I am amazed and proud everyday to be a part of a community of professionals who are continuously re-inventing ways to live, produce, learn and exist that benefit humanity and the planet on which we depend. Studio H is another example of this. I am a big supporter of ted.com and the work they... Read More

By doing so the concepts are more fruitful and actually hold the... Read More
A Step in the right Direction
In this world there are many ways to travel, and many things to see. Here at ABitSlow we pride ourselves on doing things slow, not necessarily slowly, but slow. For christmas this year I gave my mother the gift of a weekend in Melbourne, two days to cover one of the most interesting cities in the worlds! but it can be done. Being from Sydney I haven’t visited often and my mother had only visited once or twice in the last 30yrs. So last weekend you could have found us wandering... Read More
Intro to Habitat – Creating our future environment
Welcome to the Habitat section of abitslow. This section is all about how slow design affects or can affect our built environment, essentially the places in which we live, be they during work, recreation or where we call home. There are two branches which we will be exploring in this section pertaining to the exterior and interior of these Spaces. Architecture and Interior design come together in every space we enter and move through, it is a balance which (when done well) guides... Read More
