This issue’s Evolve theme is timely as we continue to navigate our way through an uncertain global landscape, particularly here at est HQ where we’re still in strict lockdown. Yet there’s nothing like the unexpected to inspire, to satiate the craving for something new. We’ve found ourselves inspired and buoyed by colour in our featured homes by Flack Studio ‘Return to the Emerald City’ and Kennedy Nolan Architects ‘A Singular Attraction’. We’ve also evolved in the way we respond to our landscape through design, looking at Madeleine Blanchfield in her Tree House ‘Where Architects Live’ and ‘Rethink: A New Perspective’ looking at the renewed potential of an existing home. We discover ‘Resilient Architecture’ with Stephen Crafti, as he opens our eyes to the evolution of adaptive architecture in response to climate change and environment. As always, there’s est Style, Library and the Playlist which, in this issue, respond to the same theme of how music has influenced what we wear, read and listen to.
