There’s a special kind of pride that comes from DIY projects, having upgraded something in your home from start to finish with no help from the pros. There’s also a special pride that comes with Do-It-Togethers: projects completed with a partner, a parent, a friend, or even a kiddo.

If you’re looking to get your own kids involved with DIY projects, look no further than this bathroom reno — completed with help from the whole family — for proof that home projects done with kids can turn out beautifully.

Pushing Against The Status Quo, With Architect Timothy Moore

Challenging the way people live, work, and practise architecture seemingly comes as second nature for Timothy Moore – a renowned Melbourne designer and director of Sibling Architecture. With polymathic experience across architecture, arts, and commerce, Timothy demonstrates a refreshing, critical-thinking approach to making spaces more equitable. A bold and compelling visual language emerges in the work of Sibling, which approaches each project as an opportunity-finding exercise. They use architecture as a tool for transformation.

As a recent graduate of a Master of Architecture at Monash Art, Design + Architecture, now working in practice, I’m inspired by Timothy’s creative enthusiasm and dynamic approach to considering new ways of engaging with architecture and society.  Undoubtedly, I believe many other students and young professionals will benefit from Timothy’s candid responses and insight into the complexities and joys of the field!
