December Feature: Interesting Surfaces

This month we want to hear about interior surfaces designed to add interest to residential and commercial projects. This is a chance to showcase novel textures and colours, as well as innovative performance attributes like natural components, breathable and anti-microbial technology.

• Do you have any new, innovative surfaces for horizontal or vertical applications?
• Have you been involved in any recent projects where your surfaces were used in innovative ways?
• How can your surfaces add visual interest to projects?

Wherever possible we encourage you to show not tell, with project case studies and in-situ images that really demonstrate to architects the surface options available for creating eye-catching interiors.

Note that for this feature, we are looking at wall surfaces, furniture and benchtop surfaces, but will not include flooring.

Article submission deadline: Thursday 7 November

Note: We will select the articles that best fit this brief. If we receive more than 20 articles for this feature, we may shift some articles to our popular Interiors or Exteriors newsletters instead.

February 2025 Feature: Bathroom Innovations

This month we want to hear about inventive solutions that can help enhance the design of both residential and commercial bathrooms.

Your article could focus on:

• A new product or system that innovates the design of modern bathrooms 
• A recent project that demonstrates how your products have contributed to innovative bathroom designs 
• How your products resolve key design challenges such as wet area design and waterproofing, space-saving and water-savings

From wet area wall linings and cabinetry, to channel drainage, tapware and tiles, this is a chance to promote your bathroom products and illustrate how they can be used to create elegant and functional bathrooms. 

Article submission deadline: Thursday 16 January

Note: We can only include 20 articles for this feature. We will prioritise case studies, new product launches and educational articles that best fit this brief. 

March 2025 feature: Increasing Building Programme Efficiency

The national median time to completion of a stand-alone home has increased significantly over the past few years, from 300 days in 2019 to 500+ days in 2024. This month we want to hear about product solutions and construction methodologies that tackle this problem, providing greater build programme efficiency for both stand-alone and multi-unit residential projects. 

Your article could focus on:

• A recent project that demonstrates how your products or systems have helped save time on site
• Any new products or systems that are designed to save time through innovations in prefabrication, modular design or reduction in on-site labour
• The key advantages you offer through off-site manufacturing, prefabrication and modular design (eg. Improved accuracy, affordability, simple assembly and installation, speed…)
• How your products minimise labour required for install and finishing — saving valuable time on site. 

This is an opportunity to promote how you can help architects and builders to deliver standalone, medium density and apartment housing on a tight timeframe. 

Article submission deadline: Thursday 13 February

Note: We can only include 20 articles for this feature. We will prioritise case studies, new product launches and educational articles that best fit this brief.
