About the desk
We are Australian editors writing for the people who plan, demolish and start again.
Burj Homes is an Australian house-design and interiors news magazine. We publish practical guides, climate-aware material roundups and renovation-tested advice for homeowners, renovators, builders and designers across the continent's many climates — coastal, alpine, arid and everything in between.
Editorial principles
What we hold to.
- 01
Independent
Burj Homes takes no advertising from property listings, builders or suppliers. Recommendations are made on editorial merit.
- 02
Practical
Photos accompany the judgement — what is durable, what overheats in summer, what survives one wet autumn on a steep block.
- 03
Renovation-tested
Where we can, claims are cross-checked with manufacturers, building scientists and owners living with the build.
What we cover
Six desks, one calendar.
Interiors
Material palettes, lighting plans, room-by-room judgement.
Architecture
Houses we rate, plans that age well, architects designing for our climates.
Renovation
Practical guides for the demolition-then-design phase.
Outdoor
Verandahs, courtyards, gardens built around Australian summers.
Sustainability
Insulation, glazing and retrofits for mixed Australian climates.
Trends
What's moving through Australian projects this season.
