Today we’re sad to say goodbye to Pana Chocolate, and head chef Amber Roche who has wowed us with her inspired raw, vegan recipes this month!

We’re closing the series with a particularly decadent sweet treat – the ‘Pana-Bon’ Appetit, which is Pana’s version of the insanely indulgent Maxibon ice cream!  These delicious ice cream sandwiches are created using a coconut-based ice cream and a nut-flour biscuit base, before being dipped in melted Pana Chocolate (of course!).

HUGE thanks to Amber and the Pana team for joining us this month!

With Australian house prices currently experiencing inexplicable growth, more Australians than ever before are being priced out of the traditional property market. Meanwhile, many of us have also found ourselves working from home over the past year…  so it’s no surprise Australia is seeing an uptick in alternative housing solutions.

Among them is Minima – a series of prefabricated, small dwellings developed by FABPREFAB, designed by TRIAS architects, and constructed using CLT (cross laminated timber). 

The project is available in multiple configurations, to serve as either a home office, living space, bedroom, or entire tiny house. It’s one of the only architect-designed, modular tiny houses on the market in Australia, and can be built to order in as little as 12 weeks!

Turning a warehouse into a cosy and practical family home is easier said than done, but Cindy-Lee Davies, creative director and founder of Lightly, and her husband Willie, have absolutely nailed it in their Melbourne home!

This warehouse was originally converted into a residence in the ‘90s, and since taking ownership in 2011, Cindy-Lee and Willie have worked hard to transform the space into a creative, personalised sanctuary. Styled with local artwork, indoor plants and, of course, Lightly furniture and homewares, the home is now shared by the couple and their adorable son Teal!
