Welcome to the Summer edition of Haven. As we settle into another busy festive season, this edition explores some big ideas shaping the way we live – both in how we build our homes and how we enjoy them.

We investigate prefabricated and modular housing, a concept that could hold the key to tackling Australia’s growing housing supply challenges. Could building smarter and faster finally help ease the wait times and costs for new homes?

We also take a peek into the future of home life with AI home helpers. From managing grocery lists to adjusting lighting and security, artificial intelligence is moving beyond the office and into our living rooms to make everyday life that little bit easier.

And for those who love to style their spaces, we say goodbye to minimalism and hello to maximalism! Discover why bold colours, layers of texture, and personal expression are making a joyful comeback in homes across the country.
